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.

God I spent my entire spring break crying after I watched this a few years ago. She was so sad. No one with a good heart deserves to be sad. She had One friend and then it was over. I’d probably kill my self if I had one friend because the pressure would just be too much. Fortunately I have 0 so I’m gonna live forever

“Nadine: I had the worst thought: I've got to spend the rest of my life with myself.”

I was going to write a joke review about how the movie doesn’t feature the Stevie Nicks song but I just realized HAILEE STEINFELD HAS A LEGO BIG LEBOWSKI HOODIE. LOOK AT THE POSTER. I NEED IT THAT HOODIE.

Oh fuck yeah gimme that fucking i n d i e t e e n d r a m a energy

i don't know how to deal with the emotions i'm feeling right now

Tipo eu gostei mas ao mesmo tempo achei meio exagerado só que um exagero ok pois adolescentes

One of the only movies that capture the culture surrounding Gen Z and self esteem, and that tells the story of a teenage girl like she’s an actual human being (shocking!). Come for a realistic grounded coming-of-age movie (where it delivers in every way), and stay for Hailee Steinfeld and one of the best leading performances of 2016 (that scene towards the end with her brother... wow.). Really, really liked this

Sharp and biting without feeling cynical or mean. Hailee Steinfeld and Woody Harrelson are terrific, and Steinfeld in particular delivers an unflinching (but hilarious) portrayal of teen angst and awkwardness. Also, this movie introduced the world to Haley Lu Richardson, who is a goddamn national treasure
