Watched this movie called "The Edge of Seventeen" yesterday on Amazon Prime Video. Its a teenage coming of age kinda movie. At first i thought it would be irrelevant and got ready to get bored. But as the movie went along it was quite a pleasant surprise. It was a good movie. Hailee Steinfeld is a young kid growing up with no emotional support. She has an elder brother who is more loved and more popular and she has no friends at all. Only her dad is her emotional support which is quite natural with the Oedipus complex and all. As she grows up, she then befriends one girl Kyra Sedgwick and that's it. Then her dad unexpectedly passes away. So there you are - lone girl, no friends, introvert - how she copes up with loneliness, trauma and decision to commit suicide is what makes up the rest of the movie. The movie treats all these aspects very well without being very preachy and all. Pretty good acting by Hailee Steinfeld and decent by others. Rating 5/5
