23. “Eighth Grade” (18) Director: Bo Burnham 94 minutes
(c)2018 A24 DISTRIBUTION, LLC
Directed by Bo Burnham, who has the unique experience of being a YouTuber, this youth comedy depicts the life-sized worries of a 13-year-old girl in a cute and pop way.
She has a hard time making friends, and although she posts videos on YouTube, the number of views is stagnant. Such a heroine struggles to make her ``junior high school debut''. The film's realistic perspective and story, which captures the ongoing state of mind of a 13-year-old girl, garnered a lot of sympathy, and its popularity was further fueled by the fact that former U.S. President Barack Obama named it one of the best movies of the year.
It's a sight to see Elsie Fisher, who seems to have stepped out of the story, into the story, but the presence of the father, played by Josh Hamilton, who is unable to gauge the distance between himself and his daughter but who watches over her in an attempt to help her, is also effective as an accent.

(c)2017 IMPERATIVE DISTRIBUTION, LLC. All rights reserved.

Set in the 1990s, it incorporates a variety of elements that stand out on screen, such as amusement parks, sunsets, and drive-in theaters, and while it charms you with its gorgeous visual beauty, it also skillfully creates contrasts as the main character rebels and is destroyed.

(c) 2017 Under the LL Sea, LLC
David Robert Mitchell, the talented young director who gained attention for ``It Follows'', depicts the dark side of Hollywood's showbiz world, which is rife with excitement, in this scrambled-egg-like mystery that mixes truth and fiction.
"Urban legend" is one of the keywords, and a young screenwriter (Andrew Garfield) searches for a missing beautiful woman from hidden keywords everywhere in the city, comic books, etc., and from dubious rumors spread. The story is about getting closer to the truth. The strange coincidences with "La La Land", such as the Griffith Observatory, are also interesting.

A personal drama based on the director's personal experiences. In the ever-changing city of San Francisco, the film depicts young men trying to restore the city's face, which is being lost due to urban development.

(c)2019 A24 FILMS LLC. All Rights Reserved.
This thriller has garnered a lot of attention, even trending on Twitter in Japan. A female college student who lost her family visits a small community in Sweden with her bored boyfriend and friends. It was supposed to be a research trip for The Graduate thesis, but what they witnessed was an unimaginable ritual...
This work, which has the theme of ``love,'' takes the form of a terrifying thriller, but it also depicts a woman with mental anxiety being freed from ``shackles'' in a positive manner, and the viewer will be impressed. It is a multi-layered story that can be perceived differently depending on the story.

Although it has not been distributed in Japan, it is a masterpiece that is a shame to miss.

The editing is intense, with scenes changing rapidly within the same space, such as a muddy development of the relationship with patient Amanda (Jennifer Ehle), flashbacks of past trauma, and drastic changes in the state of the room.
