Eighth Grade

[South Austin 51976]

I'm thinking about taking my seventh-grade daughter to this movie.  Has anyone seen it?  It's gotten pretty good reviews.

I'm hoping to go see it this weekend. I've heard lots of people saying disregard the R rating and that they should take their middle school-aged kids to see it.

With one daughter going into eighth and the other going into tenth, we'll have to see it.

Took my 7th grade daughter to it. There were a couple of uncomfortable scenes, but I’m glad I took her. It’s a really well-made movie.

Saw this a week or so ago. If you're thinking of taking kids, here's what you're in for:
1. Some language, fuck, shit, pussy
2. 13 year old girl learning how to give BJ's; looking up YouTube vids with a bunch of dildos and practicing on fruit
3. 17 year old attempting to sexually assault a 13 year old; nothing physical but creepy as hell

Could create a good opportunity to discuss heavy shit with your kid, but could also be awkward for a lot of people.

That's awkward enough just reading.  For that reason, I'm out.

I've read a little more about it and I still think it is a movie to take my daughters to.

Yeah, I’m out too. Glad I posted for the preview.

Read through some of the reviews, both parents and kids.

The family watched Eighth Grade on Saturday.  Had some reluctance to taking them as it is rated R due to a couple scenes with sexual content, but decided that they were mature enough.  I was right.  I though the movie was done well, the main actress played the role wonderfully as did the actor that played her father.  We had some discussions following the film regarding feeling awkward at school or in other social settings so my girls were mindful of how other kids might be feeling in those situations.  Also, it allowed me to express, again, the all boys want to have sex.  Regardless of how nice they are.

Just saw this at Alamo. Thought it was incredibly well done but it’s a bit of a tough watch because it’s just so cringey.
