If you loved Best Man Down, try Eighth Grade
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Best Man Down, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Eighth Grade is
Suburban summer approaching, a pool party hums, a phone screen glows. A middle school hallway echoes, a teenager navigates, social hierarchies loom. Bo Burnham nails the cringe of growing up.
