The Edge Of Seventeen Red Band Trailer

 

Once in a while, a coming-of-age movie rolls into town that generates excitement across the four corners of the film industry and one film hoping to do cement its place in that echelon is The Edge of Seventeen.

Kelly Fremon Craig’s directorial debut that features an endearing performance from Pitch Perfect 2 star Hailee Steinfeld as Nadine, a cripplingly awkward teenager struggling to navigate her way through such universal obstacles as high school drama and sexual awakening. It’s by no means a radical departure from convention, nor is it likely to reinvent the coming-of-age genre, but buzz for The Edge of Seventeen is high, and we’re inclined to believe that Craig’s movie can find some wiggle room to carve out a story that feels refreshingly original. There’s also Woody Harrelson’s performance as a foul teacher to look forward to.

Rounding out the cast list for the movie are Hayden Szeto, Kira Sedgwick, Blake Jenner and Haley Lu Richardson. The Edge of Seventeen opens on November 18.
