“The Edge of Seventeen is a smart, achingly bittersweet comedy.” ~Steven Holden, The New York Times

Aroview: Candid and humourous coming-of-age drama where an awkward seventeen year old comes to terms with her all-star older brother dating her best friend, and finds a glimmer of hope through her own burgeoning romance.

Hailee Steinfeld gives an impressive performance as the anguished, unpopular and intelligent teen whose insecurities, complexities and witticisms elevate this above most teen movie fare.
