    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      At a screening in San Francisco, director Bo Burnham said he originally intended for all the young characters to communicate with one another over Facebook. When his star, Elsie Fisher, saw his script, however, she said, "No one uses Facebook." He then made that a line in the movie and had the characters use Instagram and Snapchat instead.
    • Goofs
      In the mall scene where Kayla first walks in to meet Olivia, she walks past a number of mid-mall kiosks. One of them has a mirror and you can see the crew briefly reflected as she moves through the scene.
    • Quotes

      Kayla: Do I make you sad? I don't know. Sometimes I think that when I'm older, I'll have a daughter of my own or something... and I feel like if she was like me, then being her mum would make me sad all the time. I'd love her because she's my daughter, but I think if she turned out like me that being her mum would make me really sad.

    Flashback
    I'm 33 and this was a very hard film to watch. I didn't think I struggled at school but this brought back a lot of cringe. I felt everything she did.

    Elsie was astounding in her role! Oscar winning actress in the making.
