Nadine, a high school junior played by Hailee Steinfeld (Academy Award Nominee, True Grit), hates everything about her life except for her best friend Krista (Haley Lu Richardson). When Krista unexpectedly starts dating Nadine’s popular older brother, Darian (Blake Jenner), things hit an all-time low. Having no one talk to, she turns to her sarcastic history teacher, a perfectly cast Woody Harrelson. Slowly, but surely, she realizes that life might be worth living— but not without a few cringe-worthy bumps and bruises along the way. First time writer/director Kelly Fremon Craig partnered with renowned comedy producer James L. Brooks (The Simpsons, As Good as it Gets, Jerry McGuire) and hits all the right notes with this very funny, superbly acted, and instantly relatable coming-of age-story. The Edge of Seventeen is destined to be a teenage comedy classic for years to come. (Running Time: 102 minutes)
