The Edge Of Seventeen

...a bravely honest, very funny movie about what it is to be a teenager, when you think you’re different and that nobody understands you, but really it’s you who has yet to get a grip on yourself.

...hendes bløde kinder, udtryksfulde mimik, temperamentsfulde trampen og verbale skarphed [gør] Nadine til en umulig teenager, der er umulig ikke at holde af og at tage øjnene fra.

Dialogen er forrygende: Sprød og skarp, og persontegningen er ligeledes solid omkring birollerne, og derfor tilgiver man også at plottets udvikling er lidt for forudsigeligt.

...a delight, with Hailee Steinfeld serving as the radiant star at its center.

...a film that is so compassionate and alert (in ways Nadine is not) to the complexity of other lives and also, yeah, sometimes really fucking funny.
