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."

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

“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.

you know, ever since we were little, i would get this feeling like... like i'm floating outside of my body, looking down at myself... and i hate what i see... how i'm acting, the way i sound. and i don't know how to change it. and i'm so scared that the feeling is never gonna go away.

this movie may not be objectively perfect, but it's exactly what i need.

Me: HA RELATABLE.
Me realising I'm 23 not 17: well fuck

the fact that nadine ACTUALLY has acne... 4.5 stars

why does everyone in this movie own a pool

lady bird's younger sibling

imagine having a teacher half as cool as woody harrelson

An actual good coming of age flick.

This movie is just the joker if it was good

A risk in everyway. This feels like a breathe of fresh air in a medium steeped with derivative blockbusters and sentimental oscar bait. Something that's finally... real? Politically poignant allegories about the world we live in don't overshadow the brilliance of the directing here. Something tells me this is going to be one to remember!

I'm such a slut for a generic coming of age film with a dash of mental illness

Thought I was watching Diary Of A Teenage Girl. Turns out I was not. Very different films. Can’t say I enjoyed it.

When I chose this movie to watch I was like: yeah, let's watch a dumb funny movie. Oh how I was wrong!
I saw myself in Nadine almost in every scene, I don't know if it's because of my mood and vibe tonight but I loved this movie so much and I also cried a lot.
This one just touched me, and I never would have expected it after watching a preview and trailer.

She is the essentric bitch main character

7.4/10

Reducing half a star because she ate fries with the same hand she used to throw her shoes.

Ruim. Meudeus do céu eu não consegui me importar com essa menina chata insuportável um mísero segundo apenas POR FAVOR tome um banho.

pleaaaseeee what was the reason behind that scene where she threw her shoe at a wall?? and when she threatened her mother after she said she wouldn't be able to drive her everywhere? my goshhhh are all american teens like that?

Decent coming of dramedy. Ads nothing really new to the genre, it‘s honest and funny in good amount and tone.

triggered the fuck out of me and i had a panic attack but i loved still loved it :)
