The Edge of Seventeen

Unfolding like a symphony of small humiliations, there isn’t a moment in this movie that doesn’t feel at least vaguely familiar, and there isn’t a moment in this movie that doesn’t feel completely true.

At a time when judgment and self-righteousness outrank forgiveness and empathy, Nadine is the heroine we need.

The Edge of Seventeen is particularly perceptive in how it deals with teenage sex—maybe even with sex in general.

The best teen comedy since the heyday of Hughes, raunchier and randier as befits the passing decades, but with kids just as mixed-up as ever, and over exactly the same things. Teen angst never goes away, it just deserves a witty updating every now and then.

The Edge of Seventeen is funny and tragic, but most of all it feels real in the same way John Hughes movies felt real. It's not a candy-coated version of teenagedom. It's harsh, and awkward, and funny, just like being a teenager.

The Edge of Seventeen isn’t John Hughes for a new generation – it’s much more honest than that.

Only Hailee Steinfeld’s committed performance as Nadine, a troubled high-school junior in Oregon, and Woody Harrelson’s deft turn, as a teacher who helps her, make this thin and cliché-riddled comic drama worth watching.

This movie is more than just a great lead acting role. With an extremely solid story line, it is hard hitting. You can see yourself in place of any character portrayed. A story that anyone would see themselves reliving. There are many layers to this movie, with each and every one packing a punch, giving the viewer exactly what they want.

best beginnig and not suprisingly worst ending that I could imagine. hailee was awsome as a teenager and she was totally realistic and believable but if you're looking for some good form and directing skills... well it's probably not a good choice

The scenes with Woody Harrelson are the best thing about this film. The edge of seventeen has its charm but it gets pretty cheesy at the end

Oh no, not another coming of age movie! I don't think I can stand watching another one as they are all pretty much the same with the boy or girl coming to grips with sex and the accompanying emotions and situations. This movie has chick flick written all over it. You've been warned, guys.

Deja vu all over again. The movie is worth more than a 30, but the current score 77 needs seriously watering down. And now Im just writing something to get to 150 chars...
