According to director, writer and ex-YouTube star Bo Burnham, his debut feature Eighth Grade is “really intense”, despite not much happening.
The film follows 13-year-old Kayla as she navigates social media and the last week of middle school.
It’s already been a huge hit at the box office in the United States and with young audiences.
Bo and Eighth Grade actress Elsie Fisher explain why the film has resonated with teenagers.
