Shown at the 2018 Sarasota Film Festival, “Eighth Grade” opens Nationwide: Enjoy the Horrors and Humors of Teenagehood

I became even more excited when we were surprised with Burnham in attendance for a panel before and after the film. With equal parts earnest heart and uneasy honesty, ‘Eighth Grade’ is brilliantly written, executed, and delivered.

Teen-Movie Legend Molly Ringwald even called ‘Eighth Grade’ “the best film about adolescence I’ve seen in a long time. Maybe ever.”
