Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Jayden-Lee Thomson One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

priceturner A highly underrated gem. The Edge Of Seventeen features a beautiful performance from Hailee Steinfeld, that captures the teenage spirit in a funny, dramitic, and poignant way. With some stellar writing and beautiful debut Direction from Kelly Fremon Craig. I highly recommend this film to anyone willing to laugh, cry, and reminisce.

Neil Welch 17-year old Nadine has felt out of place since she was small. When her best friend since childhood, Krista, takes up with her hated older brother Darian, Nadine feels even more isolated than usual, and her Drama Queen antics lead in an even more negative direction than usual.Hailee Steinfeld plays Nadine, and I have rather liked this young woman's performances since she first exploded in the Coen Brothers' True Grit. In this movie, she plays Nadine brilliantly.The trouble is that Nadine is not very likeable and not very believable. She actually has quite a nice life, being well provided for by her single-parent mother, and also enjoying the fact that her brother takes on various parental roles, notwithstanding normal sibling antagonism.So when she utterly selfishly forces her best friend to make the choice of her brother or her, she loses any audience sympathy she may have had, and it wasn't much to start with. And the sequence where she accidentally sends a sexually explicit text to a boy she fancies, goes out with him when he responds, and is then horrified when he expects her to deliver on the text - well, words failed me, notwithstanding "No" means "no.".Perhaps it's an accurate reflection of teenage angst, but it's quite different to the teenage angst I went through.And the resolution of the film was glib beyond belief - here is a youngster, who on the basis of what the film shows us, has been somewhat socially inept, or worse, since childhood, and all of a sudden she develops a sunny disposition towards others simply because of some home truths and a new friendship? I don't buy it. She should be in counselling.If it's not obvious, let me spell it out: the trailer sells this as a teen comedy, but it's not. It's a character-driven drama, albeit with some amusing moments. A slight and everyday drama, to be sure, but a drama nevertheless. The trailer deceives.It's not all negative. As well as Steinfeld's undoubted skill in selling her character, the film also benefits from Woody Harrelson as a humorously cynical teacher, and the luminously lovely Haley Lu Richardson as Krista, some decent support work among the rest of the cast, and sufficient interest in the characters to keep your attention throughout.

huslen_otgoo This was such a sweet, funny movie. It's very reminiscent of a John Hughes type of film, a film that's great for teenagers and adults. Hailee Steinfeld is fantastic as a teenager dealing with loneliness, social awkwardness, and buried grief. As often is the case in teen movies, her main parental figure (her mother) is a bit of a ridiculous mess, so she turns to her teacher played by Woody Harrelson, who's also great in his role. This story manages to address family issues at home, dating woes, friendship conflict, jealousy, and more. It walks the line between drama and comedy, serving up some very touching moments AND some big laughs. That's a tricky balance to achieve and this film succeeds with flying colors.

avernuskingslayer The Edge of Seventeen, Directed by Alfonso Gomez-Rejon, The role of girl is played by Hailee Steinfeld, and Haley Lu Richardson plays his best friend. Blake Jenner plays his brother. Main points of the plot is, High schooler Greg, she spends most of his time making parodies of classic movies with his co-worker Earl, finds his outlook forever altered after befriending a classmate who has just been diagnosed with cancer. I think that's the normal junior girl life. That happens simple life. Hailee Steinfeld actor's ability is increasing. She plays good that movie. That give't me other realize. I watch'tr any other meanings for that movie. I watched theatre. Recommendation. For those of you you like a fanciful movie, it's well worth going to see. But I like't. May some junior children need to watch it.
