This movie is the best that I have scene in a long time. It addresses teen problems in a way that is unconventional and funny. Sure, it deals with the same kind of "best friend dates my brother" archetype, but it is almost impossible to avoid a cliche. Generally because no matter what you do, someone has done it a million times, so essentially everything is a cliche. But, this movie handles it in a way that makes it feel not so cliche, which is great. Great movie.

This is a coming of age film, true. But it's just done so very well. No gimmicks here. Just a good story with believable and likeable characters, tastefully doused with humor. The acting is top notch. Would Woody Harrelson have shown up otherwise?

When the industry is dominated by crappy superhero films and movies such as The Edge of Seventeen kind of fails to meet it's full potential in the market. I completely missed this film in 2016 and just watched it in 2018. I might have never seen this movie if my friend hadn't mention it and boy was I surprised. When you have overdone cliched teen movies for decades and had completely lost faith in the genre, The Edge of Seventeen was a breath of fresh air. It was fun and charming. Beautifully done cinematography, brilliant set of cast, a strong story and a very well executed film this was. This film really left me with an heartwarming experience. I don't remember the last time I really laughed out loud to a movie and at the same time cared for a character as much.For all of you who are tired of superhero flicks, this will be refreshing watch. Promise.

First of all,It's kind of teenagers movie.In Nadine, her role is most abrasive,needy,solipsistic teen character. She is 17 year old who hates her mother and her brother.And she has only one friend at school whose name is Krista.But her friend and her brother fall in love each other.The edge of seventeen is perceptive in showing how teenage friendships,in their fusional intensity and daily commitment,are almost like romantic affairs.When they go south, it's painful and messy.
Secondly,The films strenght is how seriously it takes these people and their fragile emotions even as it tweak's them for gentle laughs and ushers them toward predictable resolutions.
