It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

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.

I didn't find anything funny about this. She's depressed, she's completely selfish and self-centered and she was all of these things from the beginning. There's no great epiphany or life altering event that suddenly makes her a better person. She gets told off once and flips the switch suddenly. Unbelievable. There is nothing about this girl that is relatable. Geez, The bad boy has more sense than she does. I don't see why it has good reviews.

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.

First of all,It's kind of teenagers movie.In Nadine, her role is most abrasive,needy,solipsistic teen character. She is 17 year old who hates her mother and her brother.And she has only one friend at school whose name is Krista.But her friend and her brother fall in love each other.The edge of seventeen is perceptive in showing how teenage friendships,in their fusional intensity and daily commitment,are almost like romantic affairs.When they go south, it's painful and messy. Secondly,The films strenght is how seriously it takes these people and their fragile emotions even as it tweak's them for gentle laughs and ushers them toward predictable resolutions.
