Review of The Edge of Seventeen (2016) by Dustin P — 02 Feb 2017

I think the older I get the more surprised and impressed I am when I see a good film, or hear a great album, or experience really quality art in any form. Maybe it is because with the internet the standards are lower or whatever.

I'm not really sure. But I feel like in the day of never ending sequels, reboots, and really forgettable films, it is important to recognize when a really good film hits. This movie surprised me, a lot actually.

I saw the trailer and was pretty neutral but my wife had seen it and recommended that we watch it. Without spoilers, yes it's a coming of age type film but the issues the main character faces are real and the movie just works.

Can't recommend enough.
