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."

“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.

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

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.

Loved it! Can't believe I didn't catch this one earlier.

This film remains one of the most heartfelt & powerful coming of age stories we’ve ever seen. Through great characterizations, realism, & structure, it builds into an unforgettable climax that solidified Steinfeld's talents.

we can do it in the Petland stockroom

Really enjoyed this. Great to see a high school kid movie about someone who isn't a 17yo boy trying to get laid.

I really liked how well it handled how self-absorbed people are at the age, still finding out that it's not just you, but everyone is dealing with shit too.

Hailee Steinfeld was superb too. Totally owned this film and was completely believable too. Even made me relate to being a 17yo girl.

And a rare complaint about a movie these days being that it's the male characters who were a bit cliché and empty. Although Woody was fantastic.

And to think the only thing my high school teachers gave me was stomach ulcers.

Nadine holds a special place in my heart 😂😂

9/10

Watching this movie is like almost fucking up but then walking into your bedroom only to see the cockblock-grim reaper laying on your floor listening to The Weeknd. Then you realize, this ain’t it Chief.

i just figured an adult should know

nice guys finish last amirite?? hahahaha
god I'm so sick of that trope

this film is what i needed three years ago
