About this movie

The Edge of Seventeen is a new coming-of-age movie in the vein of Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club - an honest, candid, often hilarious look at what it's like to grow up as a young woman in today's modern world. Everyone knows that growing up is hard, and life is no easier for high school junior Nadine (Hailee Steinfeld), who is already at peak awkwardness when her all-star older brother Darian (Blake Jenner) starts dating her best friend Krista (Haley Lu Richardson). All at once, Nadine feels more alone than ever, until the unexpected friendship of a thoughtful boy (Hayden Szeto) gives her a glimmer of hope that things just might not be so terrible after all.

Ratings and reviews

It has good acting and a simple story that will keep you engaged the whole time. I do think that the ending lasted a bit too long, but overall it's a great film.

Like Woody Harrelson so decided to watch and could not stop laughing, a fabulous movie and Hailee Steinfeld is brilliant in this, I have 2 teenage daughters so can totally relate,Very enjoyable movie

Loved, loved, loved this film. I almost didn't watch it because I felt it may be more for teenagers but as a mother of 16 and 17 year old girls, this was so unbelievably accurate! Especially for my 17 year old, who I think sneaked out of the house to make this film! Made the whole film very emotional for me personally but this film is a must see for most ages!
