“…that rarest of sequels: it surpasses the original.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

 

 

 

download (1)EIGHTH GRADE

“EIGHTH GRADE wouldn’t be the success it is without the perfect lead, and [Elsie] Fisher is perfect in her general physical demeanor and line delivery.” – Allyson Johnson, Cambridge Day

“The film reflects arguably the worst stretch of growing up in America’s education system, but it’s rarely if ever ugly. Instead, it’s compassionate, radiating retroactive kindness for the children we all were to soothe the adults we are now.” – Andy Crump, Paste Magazine

EIGHTH GRADE proved to be completely aimless in its structure since it’s never allowed to become an actual movie.” – Jaskee Hickman, Cinematic Essential

“This is Van Sant’s project, and his fans will rejoice, but it’s Phoenix who’s the star.” – Kilian Melloy, Edge Boston

“It’s got an impish sense of humor befitting [John] Callahan’s sickly funny cartoons, which sometimes spring to life in crudely animated interludes.” – Sean Burns, The ARTery
