Eighth Grade (2018) - Probably one of the most cringey movies I’ve ever seen, but of course done intentionally and with good purpose. Lots of laughs, but mostly good natured ones that come from a place of understanding and sympathy. Genuine. B+
I saw this too and I’m surprised that you said there were lots of laughs. I thought the movie was very sad and solemn and only a few parts actually struck me as funny. Most of the movie just gave me anxiety, honestly. I still liked it, though. I think I might’ve liked it even a little more than you did depending on how you define a typical “B+” rating, but it sounds like we liked it for totally different reasons. I don’t know. I think that’s interesting.
I actually found it quite sad too, but there were some definite laugh out loud parts (some being sorts of nervous laughter). For much of the runtime I felt really bad for the main character but it eventually morphed into a feeling of optimistic understanding that she’ll end up just fine. So while sad, it wasn’t an interminable sadness.
B+ for me means really good/almost great.
