Review of The Edge of Seventeen (2016) by Moviemitch96 — 20 Nov 2016

I'm happy to say that this film more than exceeded my expectations! It had everything going for it and man did it deliver for me! It was funny, touching, and balanced both of these things near-perfectly! Hailee Steinfeld gives an irresistible, charming, and for me a relatable lead performance that is only surpassed by some scene-stealing moments from a very straightforward but nonetheless very funny and always reliable Woody Harrelson! Overall, I absolutely loved this film not only due to the charming and funny story that puts it in the same vein as some of the teen comedies from John Hughes, but also because I honestly felt as though I could relate to so much in this film as it really hit close to home with me and some of my personal experiences at that age.

It made me quite nostalgic to return to that age to say the least.
