  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!

  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.

  told my girlfriend Booksmart made me wanna rewatch Edge of Seventeen, so we did. and it's still wonderful! Booksmart might be a little bit better, but this movie is still firing on all cylinders. Hailee Steinfeld and Hayden Szeto are fucking phenomenal. Even in the little moments, Steinfeld reminds you why she got that Oscar nom.

  I really appreciate how well this film starts in a place where you think it's gonna be very boilerplate but slowly starts to weave its way out of that hole. It's directed very functionally, but the performances and script carry it so so far. It wasn't until this second watch that I got to fully appreciate how cleanly they weave in details to explain…

  I love that the fundamental thesis of this film embodies the line of dialogue saying that everyone is miserable, but some are just better at hiding it. It's a tough idea to think about; it's actually played off as a cynical joke mid-way through the film, but it's a valuable truth. So many of these teen coming-of-age films have their heads in the clouds and assert that life will adjust to you, when in reality the exact opposite is true. It's all about perspective and attitude, and that shift in Nadine's reality is evident and sharp. I really, really love this film. It's honest and real; simultaneously sympathizing with her struggles and maligning her behavior at the same time. Bravo, Kelly Craig, for making a teen film with insights that are actually valuable.
