High-school life gets even more unbearable for Nadine when her best friend, Krista, starts dating her older brother. "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 - and the risk pays off."--Hollywood Reporter. "Steinfeld makes Nadine a hellion you can't tear yourself away from. She isn't just the star of 'The Edge of Seventeen' - she's its center of gravity."--Variety. "Kelly Fremon Craig is a good writer, who is also a good director, and 'The Edge of Seventeen' is the beginning of a career worth watching."--San Francisco Chronicle.
