    You can use the beauty camera to cover the acne, jump into the pool to hide the fat, and tell the camera a hundred times that I am beautiful today, but the truth in youth is that I am indeed uglier than her. The boy who longs for love is desperately obsessed, follows the school sister’s circle and strives to blend in, and writes the coolest girl 10,000 times on the shoebox, but his growing up adventure is to accept his mediocrity. Youth is like a broken mobile phone screen, fragile and sticky....

    Ah, it really is a Sundance explosion. 8 points properly. The little girl's acting skills burst like a storm. The writing is very detailed and accurate. Have you read [Five Centimeters Per Second] for those who say there is nothing broken? The pressure on whether American kids are cool or not is really too great... In the film, the little girl went to the mall for the first time to find an older child to play with. The writing psychology of the section was absolutely perfect. The music and...

    what! Isn't this who I am...Always the quietest one, who is inferior and can't talk. Always dream of being the coolest girl. In fantasy, I'm so cool that I have phantom limbs, and in reality I'm still a (pseudo) social...

    Acne, weight, boys, plastic sisterhood, social media attention/no attention, college education, sexual curiosity... When growing up and encountering a lot of distress and embarrassment, this cute and brave girl went on to express her feelings on the screen, and laughed one by one. "Gucci" cheer up himself in every time and space, and welcome the next step in life. Compared with warm sugar boiled water tablets or self-willing and depraved painful growth, it seems to inject more real/hopeful...

    After reading it, I chatted with my spouse for half an hour, "What should I do if my child is rebellious in his teens", whether it is white parents or old couples who abandon their children and daughters, so it is said that childbirth is a practice, what kind of encounters can be encountered , It's all due to the fate of the hormones in his body and you. A24 has tasted the benefits of coming of age films, with low cost, fast selling, and low...

    Although the life of "Eighth Grade" is surrounded by intelligence, elegance and coolness in social media, the ordinary small universe offline through the screen is still full of boring, vulgar and ordinary elements. I was originally at an age of ignorance, where is there so much anger and sentiment against the current? Therefore, this kind of image difference between the predecessors and the rear is also woven into a sharp contrast. But this growth-themed work reflects on the changes that...

    D+/ This kind of embarrassment that even the viewer seems to be being executed in public is actually more representative than Miss Bird, who is almost always on the scene of oral English practice. Presenting an intuitive state of youth instead of obsessing with the portrayal of various characters may be the opposite, but overall it still has not broken through the framework of American youth chicken soup. After all, this is just showing the shaded youth, and then incorporating it into the...

    Three and a half. With great confidence in recent American youth films, the result was still slightly disappointed. The key was too shallow. In the end, it was necessary to rely on the drama of father and daughter to "fight the fire", but the result was even more abrupt; the US campus in the past two years Katarai blowout appeared, covering almost every age group and group, and I felt that everything was done (the directors really didn’t want to change the angle and way of thinking to shoot),...

    Elsie Fisher's amazing performance blessing is only qualified. The rhythm is procrastinated and chaos has not developed, like a one-hour short film that has been forced into a feature. Except for the heroine, the other roles are very flat, and even the father has no arc. For Gen Z's narration is interesting, social fear/embarrassment can also resonate, and other aspects are mediocre or even bad. Severely...

    A bloody smile. The youth films of our ordinary girls are really cruel! What's the use of understanding no matter how much truth? Always dream of becoming the coolest girl in the world, and in reality you will always be that ordinary girl who cannot be ordinary. A24 is...
