I loved it. Very entertaining from beginning to end. The interaction between Nadine and her teacher(Woody Harrelson) was classic. I could imagine a television show of them. Will see again!!!

Cute and quirky movie. Makes you laugh and it makes you cry.

Very relatable!

After seeing the trailer for this movie, I thought it looked kinda funny, maybe a little quirky. Some of the online reviews compared it to "Mean Girls" and "Clueless" - but these did it a disservice. "The Edge of Seventeen" is different from/better than either of those. It really captures the roller-coaster ride of teen emotions that have always been around, but are accelerated by modern-day technology. Hailee Steinfeld plays Nadine, the angsty teen lead with the persecution complex, very well - I both liked and was completely annoyed by her character at the same time through the whole movie. And her friends/family all seemed fairly realistic, not terribly overblown (part of the reason it outshines Mean Girls _and_ Clueless). Kyra Sedgwick played the "flawed/scared but loving and eventually coming to an epiphany" parent to a tee, but the real adult star of this movie is Woody Harrelson, playing the "all-understanding and infinitely patient" teacher who puts up with Nadine and as gently, but firmly, as possible helps to steer her through her real _and_ imagined teen problems. As a teacher, my wife was laughing out loud at his character - saying, "I've got to remember that one" every time he made a comment to the overly-dramatic Nadine when she talked with him.All in all, the movie was much more complex than I was assuming it would be. The characters were likeable (or likeable/unlikeable/likeable as needed). There happened to be a lot of teens in the screening I attended, and the movie had them enthralled - apparently it hit a chord with them, and I can see why. I'm not one of those people who needs the nice tied-up-in-a-bow happy ending for every movie, but every once in awhile, it's nice to see a feel-good movie like this that gets to it's happy ending honestly and without skipping the hills and valleys that come before it.
