God! Why are you so awkward? Being a teen is awkward. . . and embarrassing and humiliating and painful and tragic and funny! But if there is one lesson 17 year old Nadine (Hailee Steinfeld) has learnt – LIFE IS A SLUPIE. SUCK IT. For everyone who is a teen, remembers a teen, knows a teen or wished they’d never met a teen, finally here is a movie we can all relate to. Hailee Steinfeld nails the role of a lifetime – Nadine is a greasy-haired, pimply teen at the peak of her awkwardness, throwing her own ‘pity party’ where no-one shows up. Darian (Blake Jenner) is Nadine’s hot jock brother who’s life seems perfect, Krista (Haley Lu Richardson) is Nadine’s only friend in the world until she hooks up with her annoying brother, Mona (Kyra Sedgwick) is Nadine’s high-strung mum who can’t cope with her angst and cantankerous, foul-mouthed, eye-rolling Mr Bruner (Woody Harrelson) is Nadine’s History teacher who might just turn out to be her reluctant mentor and saviour. If Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Juna and The Perks of Being a Wallflower changed your perception of ‘coming-of-age’ movies, then The Edge of Seventeen will change your life. Grow up, get real and live on the edge. . . of seventeen. |
