Robert P @Superbad Oct 13, 2026 The Edge of Seventeen is a 4.5 star Movie! See more COS M @CosMovies Oct 3, 2026 The Edge of Seventeen is an exceptionally honest and beautifully layered coming-of-age film about growing up, finding yourself, and trying to navigate life inside a complicated and dysfunctional family. Hailee Steinfeld is magnetic as Nadine, giving a remarkably natural, vulnerable performance that feels lived rather than acted, while Woody Harrelson brings humor, intelligence, and humanity to every scene. Beneath the comedy is a deeply relatable exploration of loneliness, family, friendship, insecurity, grief, and the painful process of learning to see yourself differently. Funny, uncomfortable, tender, and ultimately hopeful, it understands that growing up is really about discovering who you are—and realizing that you may be more loved than you can yet see. Five stars. A beautiful, deeply human coming-of-age film. See more Andrew J @jynx2706 Sep 29, 2026 Why do coming of age movies always get me? See more A M P @AMPatrick Sep 25, 2026 For a coming-of-age movie, EOS is uneventful and unfunny. The characters -- particularly the female characters -- are flat and cartoonish. That's true of the supposed heroine as well. Her big mistakes, we are made to understand, include actively pursuing a man she likes, not reciprocating the talented and rich (!) male friend's desire for her, and growing frustrated that her only friend snubs her for her brother and his friends. For the most part, the male characters serve as the voice of reason to calm all the hysterical women, while the sensible female characters mostly just smile silently. The ending suggests to the young audience what most Hollywood films suggest, which is that romantic/sexual love is superior to platonic love and prioritizing the former over the latter is crucial for maturity. But what frustrates me most is that the lead never discovers her own self or grows in any way other than to recognize the feelings and talents of others. See more James E @JamesE167 Sep 21, 2026 This is a fun coming of age movie, though it’s less funny than the premise makes it seem. See more Todd F @Tiddlows Aug 29, 2026 The Edge of Seventeen is a movie about being seventeen, miserable, and convinced that the universe has a personal grudge against you. Hailee Steinfeld nails the teenage rage. Every awkward moment feels like a tiny public execution. Woody Harrelson shows up as the teacher every teenager needs and no teenager deserves. Funny, painful, sharp, and full of enough teenage drama to make adulthood look like a gift. Growing up sucks. At least this movie makes it hilarious. See more Read all reviews
