Perfect casting. I felt her awkwardness so much. The first scene said everything, when she was making her video to teach other people to have more confidence. You could see she was really trying to teach herself. I felt like giving her a big hug and telling her everything was going to be OK. I listened to an interview with Bo Burnham about casting and he said everyone he saw was pretending to be 'not confident' whereas the girl they cast played it the opposite way. She played it as a person who was naturally introverted but who was trying to act confidently.
The raw emotion is what makes the movie so special. I feel like no matter what age you are anyone can watch this movie and relate somewhat to it. I wish it got talked about more often!

It’s so good to see a movie about a child played by someone that age and not some 20 year old
I completely agree
