I am finally back after a long time away from this site, but I am now ready to continue talking about my passion. MOVIES!
So the edge of seventeen…. going into this I was only excited about one thing, Woody Harrelson… and just as he is in most films, he is fantastic. his character and Hailee Seinfeld (who plays the role of Nadine) works so well together and they do a good job of creating a bond that feels real between the two. now for the most part it is good, the character of Nadine is great and acts like a normal teen would in the situations she is put in which means more people can relate to her. it is a coming of age story about Nadine going through the hardships of being a teenager without a father and a mother who is going through some sort of midlife crisis. on top of that there is some sort of weird relationship with Nadine and her mom, her mom shows the brother much more love and attention. so with all that in mind Nadine tries to find her place, which made for a pretty good movie. the actors other than the ones mentioned were just meh honestly, no one else was likable in the movie, mostly just bland stereotypes such as jock teens who party OOOORRRRRR preppy girls who party.
Now i know this is a short review but I think this movie was just ok and can only recommend it if you like Woody Harrelson and are ok with a meh plot with a couple of good moments between 2 great actors. but there is not many things to say about this movie because there is not much to it, i am giving THE EDGE OF SEVENTEEN A 6/10
but i will try to go more in depth in future reviews. just stick around and i will get better as i do more reviews. I hope to keep making content you can enjoy! so until next time, see ya!
