“Would make a wonderful double feature with Joel and Ethan Coen’s 2013 drama ‘Inside Llewyn Davis.'”
“Would make a wonderful double feature with Joel and Ethan Coen’s 2013 drama ‘Inside Llewyn Davis.'”
“A gripping mystery that features a handful of clever plot twists and an underlying feeling of dread.”
“Macdonald’s performance is intimate and subtle. Khan, once again, is a master of monologue.”
“At its best when McQueen and the clothes themselves are front and center.”
“Seems to know when to jab and when to let the disturbing narrative speak for itself.”
“If anything is impossible, it’s not being enchanted by the film’s many adorable qualities.”
“Doesn’t allow its main character to make meaningful relationships.”
“Like the best that director John Hughes offered in the 1980s, ‘Eighth Grade’ will span generations.”
“There’s not much room for anything else to breathe with Farmiga’s exaggeratedly neurotic character.”
“Never loses its identity as a bat-shit ridiculous concept that doesn’t take itself the least bit seriously.”
“Wardle proves to be an expert in pacing. The way the film rolls out feels like a thriller.”
“Granik has captured an authentic dynamic between two characters who find themselves at an impasse.”
