But as stated before, this is Steinfeld’s movie. The film’s ensemble is well put together with Woody Harrelson and Kyra Sedgwick each getting big roles with their own fair share of dramatic and comedic bits.
Bruner (Woody Harrelson) for wisdom or she embarks on a path of crude behavior and released frustration revealing just what it means exactly to be on “The Edge Of Seventeen.” With no one to turn to, she either runs towards her incredibly blunt high school history teacher Mr. Unable to deal with her place in the world, Nadine finds it uncomfortably hard to connect with her widowed mother (Kyra Sedgwick). After losing her beloved father and always feeling like she is being given the short end of the stick, she experiences a new low when her childhood best friend Krista (Haley Lu Richardson) starts dating her brother Darian (Blake Jenner). Nadine (Hailee Steinfeld) is a seventeen-year-old teenager who is going through many struggles in life. And speaking of Nadine, the bulk of the film’s quality is owed to actress Hailee Steinfeld, who much like she did in 2010’s “True Grit” gives a performance that is wise beyond her years and once again proves what a talent she truly is. A lot of that credit is owed towards director and writer Kelly Fremon Craig who keeps the pace of the film up at all times, knows exactly when she wants us to laugh and when she wants us to feel as broken as Nadine. ”The Edge Of Seventeen” gets so much right for most of its 102 minutes that it is easy to forgive it when it starts to become less and less remarkable as the film draws to a close. THE TEAM – Kelly Fremon Craig (Director/Writer) THE CAST – Hailee Steinfeld, Woody Harrelson, Kyra Sedgwick, Blake Jenner & Haley Lu Richardson All at once, Nadine feels more alone than ever, until the unexpected friendship of a thoughtful boy gives her a glimmer of hope that things just might not be so terrible after all. THE STORY – Everyone knows that growing up is hard, and life is no easier for high school junior Nadine (Hailee Steinfeld), who is already at peak awkwardness when her all-star older brother Darian (Blake Jenner) starts dating her best friend Krista (Haley Lu Richardson).
