a movie about a melodramatic, jealous, self-hating, pretentious young girl who wants to die... can't believe my life has been plagiarized like this!

as i left the theater a group of girls were all yelling "THAT WAS SO ME IN HIGH SCHOOL" and i thought it was just me that constantly wanted to die when i was a Teen but i guess a lot of girls relate to that and you know what?? that's really sad!! our culture has gotta start protecting teen girls instead of relentlessly mocking them

me after watching the trailer:
"this seems sort of shitty."

me after watching the film:
"someone needs to shame me."

nadine: gets easily jealous.

me: yeah i can relate

nadine: flipflops between getting angry and patheticly begging for forgiveness

me:....yeah, can still relate.

nadine: sits outside seven eleven knock off depressingly drinking a slurpee by herself

me: uh

nadine: gets way too horny and longing for death too often

me: hey wait a

nadine: lays on the couch with nothing better to do so decides to watch futurama

me: okay now i just feel attacked

“The Edge of Seventeen” isn’t just a welcome relief, it’s a genuine lifesaver. Pick a god, any god, and thank them for this movie. More directly, thank Kelly Fremon Craig, whose directorial debut confronts millennial teens with the same authenticity and verve that helped “Fast Times at Ridgemont High” jumpstart a revolution when it crash-landed into the ’80s. But labeling this as a new version of an old phenomenon would be a terrible disservice to the wryly hilarious and unflinchingly honest film that Craig hath delivered unto us — like its hard-luck heroine, “The Edge of Seventeen” acts like a hand-me-down but thinks like a true original.

"I know this isn't any easier for you, I know that. I think some deranged part of me likes thinking I'm the only one with real problems. Like that makes me special."

probably the most honest coming of age film i’ve ever seen, Hailee Steinfeld is simply brilliant in this

🥺

I think this version of Hailee and I would really hit it off. Plus both Woody Harrelson and Hailee Steinfeld were Oscar snubs ❗️❗️❗️❗️

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

It felt like a personal attack

wow she’s literally me <3

The main character is relatable. Hell, the whole cast and their characters are fantastic. I simply can't ask for a better teen movie. I mean, how the hell can I relate that much to a teenage girl, being a 19 years old GUY? I may never know. My point being, this movie is great, watch it.

Cringe supreme.
