I’m not sub’d here or comment, ever. But this is the most vulnerable celebrity I’ve ever seen. I’m in shambles.
It absolutely gets me like that as well. And yeah, I don’t know how bo burnham understood the experience of a pre teen girl so well but he absolutely nailed it. The scene at the bonfire with her father just absolutely kills me.
Yea I love that movie. But I’ll never watch it again. Gucci 👌
If SHE can feel like THAT, I never stood a chance
She seems like a pure soul. Please tell me she is.
I wish I didn’t relate to this so hard.
I got the same reaction watching it. Being a 12/13 year old girl was brutal and somehow Bo Burnham nailed recreating the feeling of being one.
OT but how has she not aged in almost 20 years? She looks exactly the same as she did in True Blood??????
I was like, ugh this interviewer looks so baffled by what she’s saying.
And then I realized that the interviewer is Jon Bernthal. Double ugh.
Great movie though.
Eighth Grade destroys me from start to finish. If I need a good cathartic cry I’ll throw it on
Bernthal has no idea what movie she’s talking about
Just watching her explaining that kind of experience made me tear up.
I made the crazy ass decision to watch this on a plane, thinking “Bo Burnham, maybe there will be some nice humor to it.”
Nope. I was just fucking sobbing in economy.
Eighth Grade is probably the best movie depicting coming of age in the modern era I’ve seen. It doesn’t rely on nostalgia like other movies.
I ugly cried so hard to that movie. I didn’t expect that reaction and I went in blind.
I started sobbing during the opening scene of this movie because I couldn’t help imagining my sister (who’s 8 years younger than me) as the main character
I’ve never seen this movie but just might now. That was so heartfelt and authentic.
Invisible but conspicuous at the same time, I feel that so much 🥺
She’s ethereal. One of the best performances on True Blood, was always annoyed she never got an Emmy nom for it even though the show hardly got any major noms.
I want her on Brett Goldstein’s film podcast NOW
I saw Eighth Grade at a festival screening and during the Q&A with Bo, a junior high boy asked about the scene in the car. And Bo invited him onstage and sat next to him on the ground and talked through consent and what to do when you feel uncomfortable/how to make others not feel uncomfortable. I just thought it was a really cool and compassionate moment and made my respect for Bo even higher
Deborah is amazing in Daredevil, so glad to hear that she is a lovely and relatable human in real life (plus a D&D nerd!).
I haven’t seen it since it was released, but 8th Grade did capture experiences I had growing up of not being hated but not being welcomed.
“White woman’s instagram” from Inside also similarly wrecks me. Can’t listen to it without sobbing halfway through every time haha.
That ‘feeling completely invisible while also totally conspicuous’ line really describes being a young girl so well.
Biggest Emmy snub for I movie I’ve personally scene
Bernthal doing his best acting right here pretending to care.
If Deborah Ann Woll was shunned at parties what hope do the rest of us have?! Kids are so brutal man, wouldn’t go back for a billion dollars.
Off topic, but I need Bo’s next project. It’s been too long! (I’m just greedy lol)
I love this interview, he tries really hard to understand and empathize with her and she is so soul baring and honest about everything she feels. The whole thing is way above his emotional intelligence paygrade lmao, but he does his best with her and she seems to feel very safe and comfortable with him. Sensitive goddess and her himbo best friend <3
A long while back my roommate had me watch that movie as it’s not something I would have watched on my own, but it tore me up, and I’ve vowed not to watch it again 😭.
It was straight up like he’d seen into my soul and put some of it on screen.
