Elsie Fisher as Kayla in "Eighth Grade", a Sundance favorite.
Eighth grade. How can we ever forget it? Written and directed by comedian/actor/writer Bo Burnham, Eighth Grade throws us into the awkward life of thirteen-year-old Kayla (Elsie Fisher) and how she endures the tidal wave of contemporary suburban adolescence as she makes her way through the last week of middle school -- the end of her thus far disastrous eighth-grade year.
"First-time director Bo Burnham's tender take on teen angst, starring an incandescent Elsie Fisher, is a flat-out triumph-a film that is both indelibly of the moment and achingly timeless." Peter Traverse, Rolling Stone
"Eighth Grade is a pitch-perfect, cringingly hilarious depiction of Generation Z." Vox
Catch this gem at the Cinemark, 3601 E 53rd Street in Davenport (only limited screenings left).
