A memorable dark comedy about the horrors of junior high
Great dark humor and a striking portrait of the horrors of middle school life.
Mildly amusing tale of shy girl trying to find friendship among the big kids. Quirkiness doesn't necessarily mean a great movie, though.
Very dark comedy about middle school age, great cast, recommended for fans of Eighth Grade — this one is for more mature audiences though
Everything is just slightly off from the acting to the dialogue and it’s all intentional to put you in an uneasy spot. Really well done
This film is a lot darker than you’d expect, in classic Solondz style, but still manages to be incredibly funny.
Very dark yet accurate portrayal of a child who doesn't get enough attention.
A more realistic view of adolescence than most 90s movies.
Unique and awkward. A blueprint for later character types such as Patty in “Dinner in America”
It’s absolutely hilarious. So awkward and hard to watch without wanting to scream, “NO!!!” at the screen a few times. For nerds everywhere
