Movies like The Edge of Seventeen

“The Edge of Seventeen (2016) is a 2010s coming-of-age comedy-drama that stages adolescent loyalty and sibling rivalry as its central conflict. It frames that conflict through close subjective point-of-view, naturalistic cinematography and a lighting grammar that punctuates comic moments with sudden tonal gravity. The film therefore insists that the moral and emotional costs of awkward adolescence merit sustained attention as sites of identity formation.”
