"The Edge of Seventeen" had all the ingredients to fail and be cliché like so many other "coming of age" movies.

However, while watching it I noticed that it was going to be different. This film portrays so well what many teenagers go through during their academic lives. We feel that the whole world is against us, nobody understands us and that everything that can go wrong, will go wrong. We hate life and everyone around us.

Also while I was seeing, here are some things I noticed with which I related to me:

- lying on the sofa to see Futurama - checked;
- no one understands me - checked;
- hated by all - checked.

"The Edge of Seventeen" surprised me a lot. Hailee Steinfeld and Woody Harrelson were great. And on top is the "directorial debut" Kelly Fremon Craig. However, I feel that this movie was not seen by many people, which is a shame.

"The Edge of Seventeen" is very well acted, directed and specially very well written.
