Her loan confidant is her history teacher (Woody Harrelson) who has his own way which adds to the humor of the film. She does not confide in her mother (Kyra Sedgwick) and growing up, she was a daddy's girl until he passed.
I am not sure what the issue is there, but whatever it was, it was big. We see Nadine "suffer" through all sorts of teen angst and faux drama, like her best friend (Haley Lu Richardson) is dating her hunk brother (Blake Jenner). Hailee Steinfeld has inherited the moody maladjusted teen role from Ellen Page, who could probably still pull it off, we just wouldn't believe it. This film has nothing to do with the rock anthem "Edge of Seventeen." It is sort of like watching "Harper valley PTA" and discovering it was a different Harper Valley PTA where nothing went on. In The Edge of Seventeen, Nadine's mental health issues add depth, not drama, to the story. Reviewed by nogodnomasters 8 / 10 You need to watch for run-on sentences The Edge of Seventeen normalizes depression, and other films, teen or not, should take note. Hailee shows some terrific acting talents once again. One roots for her and sees the world from her eyes even as everyone knows that she's wrong. She really sells this self-obsessed bitter teen while maintaining a great likability. The reason it works so well is a terrific performance from Hailee. However, she's never going to be Danny DeVito level. Even in the little moments, Steinfeld reminds you why she got that Oscar nom. Hailee Steinfeld and Hayden Szeto are fucking phenomenal.
THE EDGE OF SEVENTEEN MOVIE
and its still wonderful Booksmart might be a little bit better, but this movie is still firing on all cylinders.
The Pedro joke is hilarious which helps a lot. told my girlfriend Booksmart made me wanna rewatch Edge of Seventeen, so we did. High-school life gets even more unbearable for Nadine when her best friend, Krista, starts dating her older brother. She follows a long line of Hollywood beauties who dress down to do 'She's All That'. AKA: Besties, The Edge of Seventeen 2016. The only drawback I can remotely dig up is that Hailee Steinfeld is too pretty. There are no superficial characters in the main group. The only person she could turn to is equally sarcastic teacher Mr. To her horrors, Krista starts dating Darian. Dorky Erwin Kim has a crush on her but she's in lust with delinquent Nick Mossman. She hates her perfect brother Darian (Blake Jenner). Her life is one of miserable sarcasm except for her best friend since second grade, Krista (Haley Lu Richardson).
