The Edge of Seventeen is a rare film: all the characters that are allotted are the scene stealer. All!
I doubt if the title is appropriate because its embedding on the collective is not a handful. But obviously, that's about it.
This film is about Nadine, an eccentric girl who from a small already have a minder talent. It is the opposite of his brother, Darian, who is not far apart. Sadly, Nadine did not even have friends. Once in the early elementary school came a Krista, who later became his BFF. Until, at the age of 17-year-old road, suddenly popping up the problem outside the plan.
This is a movie that will make you laugh endlessly until the end.
Majority due to the behavior of a Nadine is very "drama" and as if there is no tedeng aling-aling while being near the people closest. Yes, the audience of The Edge of Seventeen will not find a character figure who want to add as many relations as possible. He has "accepted" to dwell with the same people. Even if there is a foreign / new look, actually it is not alien at all.
Take Erwin's example, the guy next to the bench, for example. In the first half we will witness the odd interaction between the two. They seem to have just met, but if more attention, they have actually been in touch for so long. Erwin especially, since he's been looking at Nadine for the first time-worsening his basics is always awkward. Other characters such as Nick, senior that Nadine appraiser. Although we have never had any direct interaction, we at least know that Nadine is "feeling" very close to her-thanks to stalking activities.
It's been proven, right, if The Edge of Seventeen actually play safe?
Wait a minute, precisely because of this small scope then all the elements can appear very efficiently and always managed to master the moment.
# More on target anymore because this film shot three periods of age most vulnerable to make a jutalitan: 7, 13, and 17.
At the age of 7, we see Nadine who is still in elementary school. He began to determine the attitude of why not want to go to school, until his mother had to acrobat to force him out of the car. At the age of 13, she was in junior high school, unfortunately it was a time when puberty hit everyone with her. She feels terrible, her life is miserable-compared to her opposite brothers. And the peak is that when at 17 years old, Nadine was high school at Lakewood High Scool, she must deal with romance and all her oaths.
In phase 17 we are also introduced for the first time with Nadine.
For a cut of the opening scene, where he ran helter-skelter to his teacher, sourced from this period. Plainly also, the audience immediately made a big grin to hear the words digress that came out: he wanted to kill himself, quickly, maybe hit by something so large that it immediately died in place without having to hurt.
# So it is not fair to praise the acting department without mentioning all the characters who get the quota open mouth.
Including the wife of the teacher and Nick (Alexander Calvert) -which though only a little quota, but memorable. The main one is for Nadine (Hailee Steinfeld), Pak Guru Bruner (Woody Harrelson), Mother aka Mona (Kyra Sedgwick), Darian (Blake Jenner), Erwin (Hayden Szeto), and Krista (Haley Lu Richardson). And it should be noted, the most absolute priceless interaction of Nadine and her mother. The most disrespectful mother-girl interaction ever made for cinema-scene in the mother's office is one of the best comedy scenes of all time-legitimate already both sort of cloning. Without diminishing the sense of awe, I gladly praise the whole cast all out!
There are still plenty of crisp crises and other plain gestures scattered across The Edge of Seventeen.
The luck is also supported by the innocent cinematography, graphics, and music (scoring and soundtrack) that occasionally come out. The comics portion dominates, but still do not forget the dramatic aspect to taste-and have a logical relevance. His manuscripts and briefings are so happy, Kelly Fremon Craig deserves a flood of praise.
I'm happy because this movie is not interested in being ambitious let alone rah-rah. It is this humble attitude that makes the fragment of Nadine's "journey of a million people" still fresh and tasty to be savored as vigorously and deeply.
