The Edge of Seventeen's reviews
Media reviews
Indiewire
Kelly Fremon Craig's wonderful and unflinchingly real debut is like a James L. Brooks comedy for teenagers (...) there isn't a moment in this movie that doesn't feel completely true.
The Playlist
Steinfeld?s performance and the script from Kelly Fremon Craig have created a young woman who feels entirely familiar, while never feeling like a retread of the other teenagers who have walked the cinematic high school halls before her.
Variety
In the savviest teen comedy in years, Hailee Steinfeld gives a star performance.
Time
The Edge of Seventeen is particularly perceptive in how it deals with teenage sex?maybe even with sex in general.
New York Times
(Ms. Steinfeld) manages a tricky balancing act, making Nadine simultaneously sympathetic and dislikable.
The Hollywood Reporter
Fast, full-hearted and graced with a beautifully modulated lead turn by Hailee Steinfeld, the movie takes the risk of playing it straight and sincere.
Screen Daily
A likeable coming-of-age comedy-drama that's too generic to recommend but enjoyable enough to make you curious what its writer-director and stars will do next.
The Wrap
The movie is about a teenage girl, but it?s the 55-year-old guy who steals 'The Edge of Seventeen' tucks it under his arm and walks away with it.
