You don't have to be a thirteen year-old girl to understand the slump of Kayla's shoulders as she slouches her way through the horribly uncomfortable yet hilarious and deeply affecting "Eighth Grade", a comedy drama populated with, one, teachers dead inside and resigned to their inability to relate to their charges; two, phone-addicted early-teens who merely grunt at those who try to engage with them; three, boys interested only in sex, not decency; and a zillion other familiar, mortifying eighth grade things that threaten to snuff out poor Kayla's positivity once and for all.
