The Trailer for Eighth Grade Reflects Internet Angst Through the Eyes of a Teen Girl
Entertainment
The majority of my eighth grade memories involve moments of immense anxiety—largely related to socializing—which happens to align perfectly with my memories of right now. Comedian Bo Burnham’s directorial feature debut Eighth Grade, which I got a chance to see at Sundance, picks up on and projects many of the fears and quirks of not only being a teenager living among teenagers, but of growing up in a world with social media.
