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!

nadine doesn't know it yet but she's gay

“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.

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

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

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

true grit girl really was lowkey in love with her best friend huh

I just want Woody Harrelson to tell me everything’s gonna be alright

A film that rightfully deserves a place in the pantheon of the great high school/teen movies...the lead performance from Hailee Steinfield is fantastic, and it is followed up with an equally fantastic supporting performance from Woody Harrelson. Really... the entire cast does a great job with this one.

A witty, fun coming of age movie with some stellar performances. Hailee Steinfeld shines as an awkward, but self-centered teenager who's convinced herself that her life is worse than everyone else's. Her chemistry with Woody Harrelson is wonderful. My main problem with it is a typical Hollywood problem: everyone is too beautiful. When the nerdy gentle guy has a six-pack, it's hard to take some plot lines seriously. Overall, it's not quite as memorable as "Me, Earl, and the Dying Girl," but it's a lovely film nonetheless.

worth the watch if only for a certain scene between nadine and her brother...watch them tears bro

Realizing this will make for an excellent double feature with Lady Bird.

Made me cringe a lot but nice ending

Hailee Steinfeld being a moody, cynical, awkward teenager is me even though I'm in my 20s

Glad I’m not going to spend one more minute with Nadine. Irritating teenager who makes life miserable for her mother, brother, boyfriend, best friend, teacher etc. Of course they are all overbearing and she finds herself in the last ten minutes of the film. To late and to easy... go see Juno in stead.

I love this movie!
