theguywithawheel23 6d A movie like this (basically a one woman show) is only ever as good as its leading performance. The role serves as both the anchor of the story and the key to our attention and affection. Should the character not engage, the movie is a flop (regardless of how amazingly assured new-to-the-scene Bo Burnham is, as writer/director). Here, the anchor comes in the form of Elsie Fisher. 15 years old (her first main role) carrying the weight of the movie on her shoulders. And incase you didn’t guess already, she is absolutely incredible. One of the best performances of 2018, in one of the best movies of 2018. Confident, hilarious and unflinchingly sincere.

It’s a simple and slow paced blast to the past. Def recommend. See more emily K. @QueenOnion Jan 5 This is a painful movie to survive. I don’t even mean that in a bad way, it just captures awkwardness so perfectly that it’s impossible, at least for me, to not watch and relive some teen trauma. See more Elizabeth G @Egreg Jan 3 Excruciating. The whole movie could take 15 mins. Slow!!!

I think this is the best interpretation of how eighth graders acted (at least back in 2005). It is definitely a slow burn movie, but I think it was good. Worth a watch if you just want to shut off your brain for a bit and don't mind how awkward it is 😜 See more Read all reviews
