Wasi Ahmed (electrifier4) When the industry is dominated by crappy superhero films and movies such as The Edge of Seventeen kind of fails to meet it's full potential in the market. I completely missed this film in 2016 and just watched it in 2018. I might have never seen this movie if my friend hadn't mention it and boy was I surprised. When you have overdone cliched teen movies for decades and had completely lost faith in the genre, The Edge of Seventeen was a breath of fresh air. It was fun and charming. Beautifully done cinematography, brilliant set of cast, a strong story and a very well executed film this was. This film really left me with an heartwarming experience. I don't remember the last time I really laughed out loud to a movie and at the same time cared for a character as much.For all of you who are tired of superhero flicks, this will be refreshing watch. Promise.
chocolateisuniversal I have never sucked dick in a PetLand.The Edge of Seventeen opens up a real window into the movie in the title. You get a peep-shot straightaway with the yellow border and black font as to what kind of movie this is going to be: edgy, with seventeen-year-oldsDespite not knowing even what a PetLand was, I felt more connected to The Edge of Seventeen more than I have any other teen movie in a long time. It probably helps that I am seventeen. It plays so truthfully to the gross, weird adolescent experience that I felt like some scenes held up a mirror to my sloppy hair-bunned face and said, "Look! Look, everyone is just as awkward and miserable as you are."The beginning is cliched, but forgivable because it provides a quick pocket of exposition that reveals enough to allow viewers to understand Nadine's reactions. The dialogue is biting and earns more than just a nostril snort, and most importantly, reminiscent of how teenagers actually speak to one another. Characters tackle several tropes: brother dating best-friend, bad-boy, nerd-who-has-a-crush-on-me, and the all-important teen movie party scene with all the finesse that real teenagers would possess.It's hard to speak about what makes this movie so real, so cringey, and so well-done. That's probably why I am not a movie critic. However, I can say that it strikes that perfect balance with awkward, cringey scenes (like someone getting an unsolicited kiss on a Ferris wheel) by using jokes that don't cheapen the severity of the situation, but rather diffuse it, just like real life. Characters fumble through with some forgivable mistakes that I could see becoming fond adulthood bar stories.Instead of making caricatures and grotesquely dramatic scenes, it imbues that same heartfelt humanity in awkward, painful, and "yikes" scenes that radiates through the rest of the film. In no scene does this film make the characters over-react for the sake of tension. All characters, not just the titular whiny Nadine, suffer humilations, desires, and motivations. That allows them all to develop and break out of the stereotypes that usually plague secondary characters.Edge of Seventeen also tackles a tumultuous familial relationship, with an eventual reconciliation (spoiler, but come on. It's a coming-of-age movie.) that doesn't feel forced and unnatural. Waterfalls don't come pouring out of one another's eyes in a sobbed apologies. It is awkward, but charming. It leaves you with that glimmer of hope that follows every awkward familial apology after a Desert Storm level fight-that your family, and the argument, aren't fixed, but they're not inflamed. It's healing.So, yeah. I've never sucked dick in a PetLand. But neither has Nadine.I give this movie 10 Hell Yeahs.
avernuskingslayer The Edge of Seventeen, Directed by Alfonso Gomez-Rejon, The role of girl is played by Hailee Steinfeld, and Haley Lu Richardson plays his best friend. Blake Jenner plays his brother. Main points of the plot is, High schooler Greg, she spends most of his time making parodies of classic movies with his co-worker Earl, finds his outlook forever altered after befriending a classmate who has just been diagnosed with cancer. I think that's the normal junior girl life. That happens simple life. Hailee Steinfeld actor's ability is increasing. She plays good that movie. That give't me other realize. I watch'tr any other meanings for that movie. I watched theatre. Recommendation. For those of you you like a fanciful movie, it's well worth going to see. But I like't. May some junior children need to watch it.
bbekloffyaa First of all,It's kind of teenagers movie.In Nadine, her role is most abrasive,needy,solipsistic teen character. She is 17 year old who hates her mother and her brother.And she has only one friend at school whose name is Krista.But her friend and her brother fall in love each other.The edge of seventeen is perceptive in showing how teenage friendships,in their fusional intensity and daily commitment,are almost like romantic affairs.When they go south, it's painful and messy. Secondly,The films strenght is how seriously it takes these people and their fragile emotions even as it tweak's them for gentle laughs and ushers them toward predictable resolutions.
