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.

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.

Halfway into my senior year of high school, and I've been thinking a lot, lately. About myself, my life, my friends, the and how all of this is seemingly leading me down some journey I'm supposed to go on through life. It took me until this week, a week in which I was consistently weighed down by the stress of work, my social life, my home life, the dozens of assignments I needed to accomplish at school, and getting accepted into college to really get me thinking about what road I'm taking into my future.
And, as usual for me, whenever life starts to really weigh me down, I think of the movies that I've watched and related to all… -
Better than expected coming-of-age about somebody doing it wrong who figures out how to kinda start doing it right (and by "it" I mean relationships, not sex)
