The peak awkwardness phase for high-school junior Nadine (Hailee Steinfeld, True Grit) is the subject of The Edge of Seventeen, a new film from producer James L. Brooks, the man with the Midas touch. Things get especially tough when Nadine’s older brother (Blake Jenner) starts dating her best friend (Haley Lu Richardson); her mom (Kyra Sedgwick) is no help, and her English teacher (Woody Harrelson) only has tough love to offer. Will things ever go right? Check out the trailer here. Writer-director Kelly Fremon Craig is making her feature debut.
