Running Time

Stand-up comedian-turned-first-time director Bo Burnham updates the teen anxiety flick for the vlogging era with this much-acclaimed zeitgeisty coming-of-age flick featuring a breakout performance by Elsie Fisher as lonely, insecure, post-millennial 13-year-old Kayla Day, who only feels comfortable when she’s making YouTube videos.

All your favourites cringe-inducing scenes are here, with Josh Hamilton on particularly fine form in the Eugene Levy role of the well-meaning, painfully embarrassing dad.
