The Edge Of Seventeen 

Do you like teen comedies that don't tax your intelligence? Like The Edge Of Seventeen? Then this is your film list! - Sure, I'm a child of the 80s. Maybe that's why I became a video librarian? Of course I still know the best dialogue from the teen comedies of the time - although I forget pretty much everything else. The brain just works in a miraculous way. The Edge Of Seventeen feels like an homage to the 80s with biting humour and a big bittersweet heart. Kelly Fremon Craig, who makes her directorial debut as well as writing the film, seems to remember all the difficult, angst-filled moments of being a teenager. That narcissistic phase where everything that happens to you seems so insanely important! The worst thing: to create an identity, to survive school! In this sense, The Edge Of Seventeen is much darker than its 80s role models.
