	Author	Review
United States	Jon Frosch The Hollywood Reporter	Fast, full-hearted and graced with a beautifully modulated lead turn by Hailee Steinfeld, the movie takes the risk of playing it straight and sincere — and the risk pays off"	POS
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"Kelly Fremon Craig's wonderful and unflinchingly real debut is like a James L. Brooks comedy for teenagers (...) there isn’t a moment in this movie that doesn’t feel completely true."	POS
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"In the savviest teen comedy in years, Hailee Steinfeld gives a star performance"	POS
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"A likeable coming-of-age comedy-drama that’s too generic to recommend but enjoyable enough to make you curious what its writer-director and stars will do next"	POS
United States	Steve Pond The Wrap	"The movie is about a teenage girl, but it’s the 55-year-old guy who steals 'The Edge of Seventeen' (...) Woody Harrelson isn’t the only reason to see Kelly Fremon Craig’s coming-of-age film (...) But he’s probably the best reason"	POS
United States	Mick LaSalle SFGATE	"While The Edge of Seventeen does deliver on the promise of being funny, it’s mostly dead serious and deserving of respect and attention. It’s far from the usual thing — and better than the usual thing"	POS
