Review of The Edge of Seventeen (2016) by Laural R — 30 Mar 2017
Teenage angst movies are a dime a dozen. But here's the thing: Many, in some form or another, have been there. That, and every once and a while, one of those dozen angst movies rises above the routine story line with superb acting, or with honest heart, or genuine charm.
This fulfills all three. Plus, admittedly Steinfeld has been a favorite of mine since True Grit. This movie deepens the case for a hopefully Oscar-filled future. And Harrelson was amazing, too (seriously -- couldn't have imagined anyone else filling the role so expertly).
