What began as an autobiographical lark for a brother and sister scribbling down stories about growing up in a radical family of an unconventional size has turned into the basis for Hollywood’s decades-long obsession with their familial farces. The portrait of charming, controlled chaos within Frank B. Gilbreth Jr. and Ernestine Gilbreth Carey’s novel “Cheaper by the Dozen” has been adapted for the screen twice before, produced during two drastically different eras. Each version retained the name but featured varying outcomes for the characters, with the 1950s iteration featuring a not-so-plucky ending compared to its more current counterpart in 2003. Yet the resonant themes, centered on an unsinkable family’s resilience during trying times, are what tie them together.

Eighth Grade
Stars: Elsie Fisher, Josh Hamilton, Emily Robinson, Jake Ryan, Daniel Zolghadri, Fred Hechinger, Imani Lewis, Luke Prael, Catherine Oliviere | Written and Directed by Bo Burnham
Eighth Grade is the directorial debut of comedian and online sensation Bo Burnham. In his first foray behind the camera, he chooses a rather strange and unique subject with thirteen-year-old Kayla Day, played by the fantastic Elsie Fisher, and her awkward journey from middle school to the nightmarish and anxiety of high school.
First things first, I can’t praise the lead performance from Elsie Fisher enough. The intuition and layers showcased in such a raw and emotional arc is profound. Way beyond her years, yet perfectly balanced in beautifully effective melancholy of an era everyone went through but would most undoubtedly want to forget. Fisher is the heart and embodiment of the picture. Without her performance, Eighth Grade falls into predictable entertainment territory.

“Boarding School” is the kind of enterprise whose problems you might normally suspect as being the result of a mismatch between helmer and scenarist — except in this case both are Boaz Yakin, whose diverse prior films include “Fresh,” “A Price Above Rubies,” “Remember the Titans” and “Max.” His first directorial foray into anything approaching horror terrain is a contemporary Gothic melodrama in which (just like current release “Down a Dark Hall”) “problem” children are herded off to an isolated, creepy academy where members of the skeleton staff have a sinister agenda.
“Boarding School” includes an odd mix of narrative elements within a classically Grimm child-endangerment scenario that would work best played as a modern fairy tale. Yet Yakin chooses to pace the film more slowly as a serious drama, which keeps the suspense from building real momentum and exacerbates the script’s implausibilities. A more magical-realist treatment might have have...

Writer/director Bo Burnham’s Eighth Grade is a remarkably true and honest portrait of a 13-year-old girl’s journey through the last year of middle school, a refreshingly accurate snapshot of early teen years that avoids all the teen movie stereotypes and presents life, zits and all, as it really is. But the film is further boosted by an appealing performance by Elsie Fisher as Kayla trying to negotiate this territory along with her single parent dad Mark (Josh Hamilton). Well-meaning Dad is desperate to connect with his only child, and Kayla is just as desperately ignoring her poor, adoring dad.
There is plenty that is laugh-out-loud funny in this film and just as many moments that are poignant, even heartbreaking. Some people make the kind of transition that Kayla is struggling to make in...

Chicago – We’ve all been there. Depending on what school structure you lived through, everyone had issues in “Eighth Grade.” Writer/director Bo Burnham puts those universal issues in a modern context, and portrays them through a girl struggling to belong while navigating the choppy waters of adolescence. It’s difficult, awkward and representative.
Rating: 4.5/5.0
Luckily Burnham found an extraordinary actor to interpret his story. Elsie Fisher is connected to her character not just by age, but by an instinctive vulnerability that bubbles to the surface in her portrayal. In eighth grade reality, a couple of situations are going on. One is the plateau in the education system, the upper echelon in a grade school/middle school structure, and the second is dealing with those pesky teenage hormones that drives everybody crazy. Those two scenarios clash profoundly in Burnham’s story, so much so that in rooting for Elsie’s character to have any victory,...

The creators of Bo Burnham’s lauded new indie coming-of-age film, “Eighth Grade,” always knew it would receive an R-rating, that would keep out the very audience members it’s made for: teenagers. The MPAA’s decision wasn’t a close call, nor was there any discussion about cuts that could be made to earn a PG-13. Nor is A24 pulling a Harvey Weinstein and stirring up controversy (and free publicity) about eighth graders being barred from seeing a film that delivers a positive message about the universal struggle of middle school.
Here’s why: The word “fuck,” uttered five times in the movie, is a non-starter for the MPAA, which limits PG-13 movies to one f-bomb. Or more specifically, as spelled out in Section III, C, 3 of the Ratings Rules:
A motion picture’s single use of one of the harsher sexually-derived words, though only as an expletive,...

I’ve been talking and thinking about this fun-to-decode, impossible-to-forget gift from the cinema gods since I saw it at Sundance in January. Now Eighth Grade is going into wide release – and no excuses will be accepted for you missing it. First-time filmmaker Bo Burnham – the 27-year-old, comedy-and-music dude from YouTube – has taken the tiniest details in the life of a 13-year-old girl moving through the digital age, filtered them through his own madly inventive headspace, and created the kind of movie that leaves you laughing hysterically or fighting back tears,...

It seems safe to assume that no one was expecting this out of comedian and actor turned filmmaker Bo Burnham. That’s nothing against him. It merely means that his first effort with crafting cinema is just that good. This week, Burnham makes his directing and writing debut with Eighth Grade, a coming of age story that should hit very close to home. This film works in a tremendously strong way. Depicting this seminal time in a teenager’s life is something many would struggle with. Not him, though. Burnham is more than up to the challenge, with the results speaking for themselves. This is something special. The movie, unsurprisingly, is about an eighth grader. Soon to be High Schooler Kayla (Elsie Fisher) is just trying to survive the end of her Middle School experience, one that has been a disaster almost from the start. Her dad Mark (Josh Hamilton...

"Only in the wilderness is man made pure again." Momentum has released a trailer for a dark thriller film titled Boarding School, the latest from filmmaker Boaz Yakin. The synopsis for this seems similar to The Miseducation of Cameron Post, but the actual film seems to border on being more horror or psychological thriller than a drama. Luke Prael stars as Jacob, a 12-year-old boy who, after being caught wearing women's dresses by his father, is sent away to a private boarding school for teenage misfits. Once there, he discovers the headmaster is much more dangerous than helpful in any way. The cast includes Will Patton, Samantha Mathis, Robert John Burke, Tammy Blanchard, Lucy Walters, Sterling Jerins, and Nadia Alexander. This gets super creepy by the end.

Very rarely does a film come along that is such a sheer delight all you want to do is watch it over and over again. Eighth Grade is one of these extraordinary gems, a film that is overflowing with insight, wit and humanity. Coming-of-age dramas are a well traversed genre and can so often fall into cliché especially for first-time filmmakers who are yet to find their voice. Yet Bo Burnham’s first feature Eighth Grade feels utterly fresh, relevant and self-assured. Burnham’s 12-year comedy career has no doubt helped refine his particular brand of humour, but it’s still a staggering achievement to create such an accomplished first film.
Eighth Grade opens on Kayla (Elsie Fisher) filming a YouTube video for her almost non-existent subscriber base. She dishes out life advice and gives a monologue on “being yourself” then signs off with her“Gucci!” catchphrase. However, like many kids,...

If comedy is best pulled from trauma, there are few moments in one’s life more distressingly rich to mine from than middle school. Comedian-turned-director Bo Burnham, now more than a decade removed for proper reflection, depicts the specific time period with all the spot-on crippling anxiety and all-consuming awkwardness in his modest but affecting directorial debut Eighth Grade.
Having been bestowed the superlative of Most Quiet, Kayla (a perfectly cast Elsie Fisher) has just a week left until she can leave middle school behind. Although she stays nearly silent at school–outside of a few under-the-breath utterances of agreement when the most popular kids walk by–her outlet can be found online. “No one uses Facebook anymore,” as one character exclaims, which leaves every waking hour available to scroll through Tumblr, Snapchat, Twitter, Instagram, Buzzfeed, etc. Kayla’s most personal digital expression can be found on the same platform...
