Eighth Grade (2018)
Being an ardent fan and critic of standup, I think I was looking forward to finding things to dislike about this because I don't care for Burnham's act. Swing and a miss. Burnham shows an ability to capture what many of us went through and his eye for this is the true talent.
I will say, I don't think it is revolutionary or too insightful. How many of us grew up with a sibling going through puberty? I recognize most of these scenes, through the eyes of a child seeing his older sister grow up. I really give him credit for knowing what works and what doesn't and doing the research to make the most current movie he could at the time.
That last dinner scene was one of the greatest things I have seen in cinema. Burnham as a director has a new fan in denim.

Searching (2018)
Part of me feels that a big deal was made out of the way this was shot. It made me feel claustrophobic and uncomfortable, begging to get a regular camera angle so I could stretch my legs.
The story is solid and Cho is as good as he ever was as Harold

Private Life (2018)
Kathryn Hahn makes it look effortless, like she doesn't even try to act. It just happens and spills out naturally. Giamatti is as solid as ever and Molly Shannon is well served in a straight role.

Can’t even remember two of those movies. Even more surprised at how well (for my liberal arts skills) those reviews were written. Thanks for reading!

The Accountant^2 (2025)
Much like other acts in life, The Accountant^2 is a lot of messy fun in the moment. It’s only after clarity, one realizes what a mistake they have made.
While this falls under “no such thing as bad pizza”, it’s definitely 1980’s tier Chuckie Cheese.
