Rating: 4.5/5.0
Alex Heller wrote and directed “The Year Between,” and portrays Clemence, a college drop out who is diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

Writer-director-star Alex Heller’s debut feature is a fictive spin on the very crisis she experienced at age 19, when she dropped out of college and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Not the weightiest screen treatment of a serious mental health issue, this drolly self-deprecating portrayal nonetheless achieves a degree of poignancy and depth within a distinctive sensibility you might call Midwestern Sardonic. After a fest run, it’s opening in limited theaters and on demand March 3.
Clemence Miller (Heller) screams “trainwreck” from the moment we first see her dragging a garbage bag across campus, haranguing everyone whose path she crosses. She then turns that alienating energy on her terrified dorm roommate (Taylor Marie Blim), who says, “You’re ruining my college experience!” The roomie has, it turns out, already informed Clem’s mother that she has spiraled into “hoarding, stealing, paranoia and shrieking.” Ergo Sherri (J.

"I'm so tired of it never actually getting better." An official trailer has debuted for an indie film titled The Year Between, marking the feature directorial debut of Alex Heller. It is a very personal story addressing bipolar disorder, and working through it, by a filmmaker who understands what this is like. It premiered at the 2022 Tribeca Film Festival and will be on VOD in March. Inspired by true events, The Year Between is the story of Clemence Miller (who is also played by writer / director Alex Heller), a college sophomore who is forced to move back home after having a mental breakdown. Faced with a surprising diagnosis of bipolar disorder and a jarring return to the Illinois suburbs, she has to learn how to live with her well-meaning but frustrated family and find balance in a world that seems hellbent on thwarting her...

One of the breakouts at last year’s Tribeca Festival came from Alex Heller and her first-time feature The Year Between, which she wrote, directed, and stars in, following a young woman with bipolar disorder who comes home during college break. Now set for a release next month from Gravitas Ventures, the first trailer has landed for the film starring J. Smith-Cameron and Steve Buscemi (reteaming after Nancy) along with Wyatt Oleff, Emily Robinson, Kyanna Simone, and Rajeev Jacob.
Inspired by true events, college sophomore Clemence Miller is coming home to the suburbs and a bedroom in her family’s basement. After dropping out of school with a newly diagnosed mental illness, she now faces the challenges of bipolar disorder, the responsibilities of adulthood, and her damaged relationships with family and friends. Clemence struggles to figure out what it means to heal without driving everyone around her… well, crazy. As...

Standing up for what you believe in can be difficult, especially for young women desperately trying to find their own voice. The critically acclaimed short film “Oleander” seeks to shed light on the subject as it also amplifies one of today’s most controversial issues. Unlike other cliched attempts at these matters, this project is winning raves for an unflinching storyline. Not only did the film win Best Director – Short Film at this year’s The Method Fest, it was also an official selection at the 2020 LA Femme International Film Festival.

Eighth Grade
Stars: Elsie Fisher, Josh Hamilton, Emily Robinson, Jake Ryan, Daniel Zolghadri, Fred Hechinger, Imani Lewis, Luke Prael, Catherine Oliviere | Written and Directed by Bo Burnham
Eighth Grade is the directorial debut of comedian and online sensation Bo Burnham. In his first foray behind the camera, he chooses a rather strange and unique subject with thirteen-year-old Kayla Day, played by the fantastic Elsie Fisher, and her awkward journey from middle school to the nightmarish and anxiety of high school.
First things first, I can’t praise the lead performance from Elsie Fisher enough. The intuition and layers showcased in such a raw and emotional arc is profound. Way beyond her years, yet perfectly balanced in beautifully effective melancholy of an era everyone went through but would most undoubtedly want to forget. Fisher is the heart and embodiment of the picture. Without her performance, Eighth Grade falls into predictable entertainment territory.

"They're like fertility junkies!" Netflix has debuted an official trailer for the indie dramedy Private Life, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year as the Opening Night film. Private Life is the latest film by Oscar-nominated filmmaker Tamara Jenkins and it's about a couple in New York dealing with the challenges of infertility and conceiving. Kathryn Hahn plays an author undergoing multiple fertility therapies to get pregnant, putting her relationship with her husband, played by Paul Giamatti, on edge. The full cast includes Kayli Carter, Molly Shannon, Emily Robinson, Francesca Root-Dodson, and Tracee Chimo. This is a very classy, sensitive film, balanced with some smart humor, and it received mostly positive reviews out of Sundance. I highly recommend this. Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for Tamara Jenkins' Private Life, direct from Netflix's YouTube: Private Life is the bracingly funny and moving story of Richard (Paul Giamatti...

20th-century poet W. H. Auden called the industrialized world anxiety-inducing and, in 2018, social media is the nub of our very angst. Instagram and Snapchat turn picture sharing into a competition, reversing the words of Fred Rogers: “You don’t ever have to do anything sensational for people to love you.” Great becomes an enemy of the good, quiet moments are choked of their meaning. The struggle isn’t new and it’s experienced by teenage girls and famous male comedians alike. Written and directed by 27-year-old comedian Bo Burnham, Eighth Grade explores a teenage girl’s quiet desperation.
“I felt like my anxiety was very specific to me being a comedian with an audience. Then I would do my shows, and like young kids would come up to me and said they felt like me,” said Burnham. Eighth Grade is about the anxiety once experienced by performers, now ubiquitous,...

Elsie Fisher as Kayla in Eighth Grade. Photo by Linda Kallerus, courtesy of A24
Writer/director Bo Burnham’s Eighth Grade is a remarkably true and honest portrait of a 13-year-old girl’s journey through the last year of middle school, a refreshingly accurate snapshot of early teen years that avoids all the teen movie stereotypes and presents life, zits and all, as it really is. But the film is further boosted by an appealing performance by Elsie Fisher as Kayla trying to negotiate this territory along with her single parent dad Mark (Josh Hamilton). Well-meaning Dad is desperate to connect with his only child, and Kayla is just as desperately ignoring her poor, adoring dad.
There is plenty that is laugh-out-loud funny in this film and just as many moments that are poignant, even heartbreaking. Some people make the kind of transition that Kayla is struggling to make in...

Chicago – We’ve all been there. Depending on what school structure you lived through, everyone had issues in “Eighth Grade.” Writer/director Bo Burnham puts those universal issues in a modern context, and portrays them through a girl struggling to belong while navigating the choppy waters of adolescence. It’s difficult, awkward and representative.
Rating: 4.5/5.0
Luckily Burnham found an extraordinary actor to interpret his story. Elsie Fisher is connected to her character not just by age, but by an instinctive vulnerability that bubbles to the surface in her portrayal. In eighth grade reality, a couple of situations are going on. One is the plateau in the education system, the upper echelon in a grade school/middle school structure, and the second is dealing with those pesky teenage hormones that drives everybody crazy. Those two scenarios clash profoundly in Burnham’s story, so much so that in rooting for Elsie’s character to have any victory,...

Bo Burnham’s Sundance debut Eighth Grade opened with the best debut weekend per theater average of the year. Released via A24, the feature grossed over $252K in four locations, giving it a robust $63,071 PTA. The figure tops Searchlight’s Isle Of Dogs, which now holds the second-highest opening weekend average of 2018 at $60,011.
Amazon Studios launched Gus Van Sant’s latest, Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far On Foot, starring Joaquin Phoenix, also in four theaters Friday. Though overshadowed by Eighth Grade, the title nevertheless had a solid start, grossing $83,120 for a $20,780 average. PBS Distribution, meanwhile, opened Kimberly Reed’s documentary Dark Money with an exclusive New York engagement ,grossing $8,100.
Shock And Awe had much more of the former than the latter, with a slow weekend gross of $41K in 100 theaters. Boots Riley’s Sorry To Bother You jumped to eight hundred-plus theaters in its second frame to strong carry-over.

As Elsie Fisher, the star of Bo Burnham‘s directorial debut film “Eighth Grade,” flatly stated: “Eighth grade for me sucked, but whatever.” Middle school, and indeed eighth grade in particular, is not exactly “Gucci” to say the least. But for a special screening in Los Angeles Wednesday night, A24 took guests on a trip down memory lane in the Joseph Le Conte Middle School auditorium–lack of AC and all.
“Being sweaty and a little uncomfortable is very on-brand for our movie,” Burnham joked before the screening started.
The universally-lauded film, which follows Fisher’s Kayla during her last week of middle school, was a story distinctly separate from Burnham’s own experience. “Being a 13-year-old girl sort of insulated me from projecting my own experience. I didn’t want to make a nostalgic story or a memory. I wanted it to be sort of visceral and current,” he said.

I’ve been talking and thinking about this fun-to-decode, impossible-to-forget gift from the cinema gods since I saw it at Sundance in January. Now Eighth Grade is going into wide release – and no excuses will be accepted for you missing it. First-time filmmaker Bo Burnham – the 27-year-old, comedy-and-music dude from YouTube – has taken the tiniest details in the life of a 13-year-old girl moving through the digital age, filtered them through his own madly inventive headspace, and created the kind of movie that leaves you laughing hysterically or fighting back tears,...

It seems safe to assume that no one was expecting this out of comedian and actor turned filmmaker Bo Burnham. That’s nothing against him. It merely means that his first effort with crafting cinema is just that good. This week, Burnham makes his directing and writing debut with Eighth Grade, a coming of age story that should hit very close to home. This film works in a tremendously strong way. Depicting this seminal time in a teenager’s life is something many would struggle with. Not him, though. Burnham is more than up to the challenge, with the results speaking for themselves. This is something special. The movie, unsurprisingly, is about an eighth grader. Soon to be High Schooler Kayla (Elsie Fisher) is just trying to survive the end of her Middle School experience, one that has been a disaster almost from the start. Her dad Mark (Josh Hamilton...

Very rarely does a film come along that is such a sheer delight all you want to do is watch it over and over again. Eighth Grade is one of these extraordinary gems, a film that is overflowing with insight, wit and humanity. Coming-of-age dramas are a well traversed genre and can so often fall into cliché especially for first-time filmmakers who are yet to find their voice. Yet Bo Burnham’s first feature Eighth Grade feels utterly fresh, relevant and self-assured. Burnham’s 12-year comedy career has no doubt helped refine his particular brand of humour, but it’s still a staggering achievement to create such an accomplished first film.
Eighth Grade opens on Kayla (Elsie Fisher) filming a YouTube video for her almost non-existent subscriber base. She dishes out life advice and gives a monologue on “being yourself” then signs off with her“Gucci!” catchphrase. However, like many kids,...

"Okay, so growing up can be a little scary... and weird." A24 has revealed the first official trailer for Bo Burnham's first film Eighth Grade, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year to quite a few rave reviews. The film stars young actress Elsie Fisher as an eighth grader teen dealing with issues of personality and identity as she finishes her last week in middle school. It's a fascinating portrait of modern youth and how mentally exhausting it is to go to public school. The cast includes Josh Hamilton as her dad, plus Emily Robinson, Missy Yager, Greg Crowe, Daniel Zolghadri, Jake Ryan, Imani Lewis, and Deborah Unger. This a really wonderful trailer for an excellent gem of a film, don't miss this.

If comedy is best pulled from trauma, there are few moments in one’s life more distressingly rich to mine from than middle school. Comedian-turned-director Bo Burnham, now more than a decade removed for proper reflection, depicts the specific time period with all the spot-on crippling anxiety and all-consuming awkwardness in his modest but affecting directorial debut Eighth Grade.
Having been bestowed the superlative of Most Quiet, Kayla (a perfectly cast Elsie Fisher) has just a week left until she can leave middle school behind. Although she stays nearly silent at school–outside of a few under-the-breath utterances of agreement when the most popular kids walk by–her outlet can be found online. “No one uses Facebook anymore,” as one character exclaims, which leaves every waking hour available to scroll through Tumblr, Snapchat, Twitter, Instagram, Buzzfeed, etc. Kayla’s most personal digital expression can be found on the same platform...

You’re going to fall in love with Elsie Fisher. As the breakout star and big, beating heart of Bo Burnham’s feature directorial debut, “Eighth Grade,” Fisher is tasked with carrying an entire film — an achingly real, firmly modern coming-of-age tale – with honesty and vulnerability to spare. The moment audiences meet Fisher’s character, soon-to-be middle school grad Kayla, she’s staring straight into her computer, delivering a motivational speech about “being yourself” that she will then upload on to her YouTube channel.
But Kayla isn’t some social media star, and her video ends with a halting plea for more likes and more shares. For a kid like Kayla, an outcast who is mostly ignored by her peers, the internet provides just another place for her voice to go unheard.

On Friday, Amazon released all 10 episodes of Transparent season 3, and I have some general thoughts on the year, followed by a mini-reviews of each episode, coming up just as soon as I say I'm the strip club's It person... As I alluded to in the introduction to my interview with the always-candid Gaby Hoffmann, I found that season 3 worked more in individual moments — or at times for entire episodes — than it did as a season of TV. The character arcs frequently felt like they were jumping from Point A to Point D without worrying about B or C, even though it wasn't structurally all that different from the previous seasons. Great performances, great scenes, and slightly more self-awareness from the Pfeffermans — Maura and Shelly, at least, and maybe Ali — but something was a bit lacking compared to the show's previous heights. Let's go episode-by-episode, and I'll do my best not...

We're approaching the end of 2015, which is one of the few times on the calendar, even in a year that's seen a whopping 409 original scripted series air at one point or another, where there's not a lot going on in the TV business. So I'm mostly spending these next couple of weeks watching 2016 screeners. But I did promise, when I published my interview with "Transparent" creator Jill Soloway, that I'd be back soon with brief thoughts on each episode of season 2, and it's belatedly time for that, with lots of spoilers coming up just as soon as I love the flavor of lost lesbian wedding dream cake... Episode 1: Kina Hora Any doubts I had that season 2 could live up to season 1 were dispelled in that opening shot, where Soloway just locked the camera in, brought virtually the entire ensemble on stage and let them talk over each other, disseminating...

A morning full of eye-opening surprises, the nominations for the 22nd Screen Actors Guild nominations were announced.
The standout nods were the inclusion of Straight Outta Compton, Beasts Of No Nation, Sarah Silverman, Amy Adams, Michael Shannon, Idris Elba and two for Dame Helen Mirren.
Not among the perceived hopefuls called were Sylvester Stallone, Charlotte Rampling, Michael Keaton, Mark Ruffalo, The Martian and The Hateful Eight.
Two nominating panels – one for television and one for film – each composed of 2,200 randomly selected union members from across the United States, chose this year’s nominees.
Some of the Sags choices were head-scratchers to be sure, but we’re thinking that the Oscar picks may be very different when The Academy announces their nominations next month live on Thursday, January 14, 2016, at 5:30 a.m. Pt at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills.

Hollywood blacklist drama Trumbo has led the nominations for the 22nd Screen Actors Guild Awards with three nods for lead actor Bryan Cranston, supporting actress Helen Mirren and the ensemble cast. The Martian and The Hateful Eight were shut out.
Set in 1947, the film centres on Dalton Trumbo (Cranston), who was Hollywood’s top screenwriter, until he and other artists were jailed and blacklisted for their political beliefs.
Cranston will go up against Johnny Depp for Black Mass, Leonardo DiCaprio for The Revenant, Michael Fassbender for Steve Jobs and Eddie Redmayne for The Danish Girl.
Films that secured two nominations included Beasts Of No Nation, The Big Short, Carol, The Danish Girl, Room, Spotlight - whose outstanding cast nod will only strengthen its status as best picture Oscar frontrunner — and Steve Jobs.

The 22nd annual SAG Awards nominations were announced this morning and it's full of surprises! Sylvester Stallone, loved by critics and the National Board of Review for his performance in "Creed," was ignored. So was Kristen Stewart's supporting performance in "Clouds of Sils Maria." Matt Damon, who was so good and carried "The Martian" from start to finish, was also missing from the list.
But here's what I love about the SAG noms. First, Sarah Silverman's first dramatic performance in "I Smile Back" was embraced. And I'm also happy with the inclusion of "Room's" Brie Larson and the fantastic child actor, Jacob Tremblay. The endearing "Carol" also received noms for both Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara, and Saoirse Ronan's performance in the beautiful "Brooklyn" also received a nomination.
The big winner of the SAG noms is Bleecker Street's "Trumbo." Missing from earlier critics awards (see here...

Nominees for the 22nd Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards were unveiled this morning in Hollywood, with a fair amount of surprises to be had. Leading the pack is Trumbo, which picked up three nominations, then a large batch of films behind it with two each: Beasts of No Nation, The Big Short, Carol, The Danish Girl, Room, Spotlight, and Steve Jobs.
Perhaps most surprising is no mention of The Hateful Eight, which has one of the year’s best ensembles. Also of questionable note is the inclusion of Helen Mirren for Woman in Gold, a film all but forgotten (we suppose Harvey Weinstein’s campaigning indeed worked). There’s also the welcome nods to Michael Shannon in 99 Homes and Sarah Silverman in I Smile Back, as well as an ensemble nod to Straight Outta Compton. Check out the full list of nominees below ahead of the ceremony on Saturday, Jan.

Intimacy is a difficult thing to film. Rather, it’s difficult to film well. You can capture two people clutched closely together, in a vulnerable moment, so that it feels as if the camera is encroaching on their privacy, an intruder. You can film in close-up, for a more practical intimacy, catching every hair and freckle. But to really feel like you’re getting a close understanding of the characters onscreen, there’s no list of actions one should take—it can be a challenge. Jill Soloway has figured it out.
Her new series, Transparent, went up in its entirety on Amazon Prime Video at the end of September. It’s a model much like Netflix’s, but Amazon lacks that company’s power and influence.
