Very touching movieThis is an incredible debut from Bo Burnham. The performance from Elsie Fisher is absolutely stunning, probably one of the best performances from a young actor in recent years. I'm a dad in my 40s and found myself relating to her father who has to stand on the sidelines as she endures all the incredibly challenging moments many young teens face on her own. The relationship between the 2 really made the movie for me. It really is a masterpiece and I don't say that lightly, it has everything it's charming, challenging, awkward, joyous, incredibly sad at times but ultimately life affirming. Watch it!!

Missed potentialThis was a nice watch, very true at times especially as the dad was the most relevant and realistic character, but it could have been so much more and I felt it did not fully touch on the angst or the discomfort of all the teenagers. The lead was great of course, but I think she got off very lightly from her peers and social media, both of whom are far crueller in real life. Worth a watch but I feel there are far grittier representations of teenagers and their experiences out there just now

HeartbreakingThis movie is so watchable, and so human and yet so truly sad in its commentary on what life is like for young teens growing up in a world where they can barely make a move without the filter of social media. Not without hope, but an eye-opener that should be viewed by every parent. The writing and performances are sublime, sucking you in from the first scene. A tour de force.

Accurate insight, heartbreaking and entertainingI'm a guidance and pastoral teacher working in a senior school with this age group of children - superb movie with great insight. While parents might not be "target audience", they should not miss this heartbreaking and insightful film. Well done Bo Burnham.

UnwatchableI rented this film as it was written by Bo Burnham so I had high hopes. It was so terrible I turned it off (I was trying so hard not to waste my money). The script and plot so cringey.. I don't think this is representative of teenage girls at all .. unless they're all this annoying in America!? Sorry Bo, but this was terrible.

Utter tripe about a severely depressed young girl!This movie is a travesty! The main character is a serverely depressed 12-13 year old girl with a father who has no idea of what she's going through but instead gives her a sappy speech about how awesome she is to him which for some unknown reason suddenly makes her perfectly fine when what she really needs is a Psychiatrist! Let's not even mention the 16 year old boy ambushing her in the back of his car that isn't addressed at all! As someone who was bullied at school and became severely depressed myself I found this movie to be utterly irredeemable in its triteness and complete abrogation of the real effects of ostracisation! I almost blew up at how pathetic the father character really was and at how he was basically telling her how he'd done absolutely nothing to help her through her life because he was too busy mooning over how awesome his daughter was to notice the severe mental scarring that her mother's leaving had clearly left on her!
