The edge of seventeen - 4.5/5

After seeing the poster for this film at numerous tram and train stops, decided to give this a go. Written and directed by Kelly Fremon Craig and amazingly acted by Hailee Steinfeld (makes sense why she got a Golden Globe Nomination), this is a high school movie that's worth watching. This is not a typical popular girl meets jock type storyline, but instead is an in depth exploration of losing a friendship, lack of family support and just teenage angst. The winner in this Kelly's amazing writing. Anyway..definitely worth a watch if you don't mind the high school genre!
