@Siddon and @Thief,
I watched Eighth Grade (2018), and I found this movie to be very awkward to watch, but that's probably what made it such a good movie. There were parts of the movie that I could relate to, like the way she was treated by the other kids in school, but because I don't use any of the social media sites, I couldn't really relate to the way she seemed to be attached to her phone.
This kind of made Kayla seem like two different people. One was the awkward person in school, and the other was the confident person who made the videos. She seemed to try so hard to make friends that she did and said everything wrong.
This is a very good movie, but a bit of an uncomfortable movie to watch at times. I think a lot of people can probably relate to what she was going through, even if they went to middle school many years ago.
Thank you for the recommendation.

But the nice thing was in the end, she seemed to finally figure it out, and I think she was probably happier in high school because she seemed to accept who she is. I loved the scene at the end with Kayla and Gabe, where they were each so nervous being with the other one. I thought that was adorable.
