Eighth Grade 2018

This movie seriously resonated with me, I related to Kayla so much and I'm sure many young girls and women will feel the same way.

Your school years can be the hardest, loneliest times of your life - but no one ever tells you that.

It always feels like everyone else is having the time of their life and you're on the outside looking in. Kayla's social anxiety and desire to fit in was so real and the way they incorporated the role of social media was super important. There are increasing pressures for young girls in our society. It is so difficult being a young girl who feels like she doesn't look right, doesn't act right, doesn't have many friends... i'm so appreciative of this movie for shining a light on this experience.

Easily one of the best coming of age movies I've ever seen, blows the likes of Ladybird right out of the water. Please let it get as much recognition!
