Leave your thoughts about Edge of Seventeen.
| Boston GlobeRenee GrahamWhile Edge Of Seventeen was marketed largely toward gay audiences, it’ll resonate with anyone who remembers the awkwardness and elation of their first sexual experiences, because it captures those experiences better and more honestly than practically any other film. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasThe film's cast, all unknowns with the exception of comic/Broadway performer DeLaria, acquit themselves well, with the skinny, innocent-eyed Stafford a credible Candide navigating a new world of experience. His grounded performance charters Eric's stumbling progress to a sense of self that befits Edge of Seventeen: without apology. |
| Film Journal InternationalDavid NohHas a winning empathy and observant sense of the Midwestern locale which bring freshness to a tale that's been told many a time before. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonObviously, this movie isn't for everyone. But if anyone can take a crossover audience through the gay terrain, it's Stafford. As Eric, his utter heart-stopping anticipation when he sits alone in a car with Rod, is palpable. Through his eyes, you can feel so much at stake here, not the least of which is his innocence. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyUnpretentious, funny and touching, Edge of Seventeen rates as a quintessential Amerindie sleeper. |
| Brooklyn MagazineAbbey BenderThe Edge of Seventeen is the kind of modest, funny teen movie that we don't see enough of these days. |
| New TimesDavid Ehrenstein... it's a calm, clear-eyed portrait of a particular kid trying to figure out -- like teenagers of all kinds the world over -- who he is and where he fits in. |
| SalonDaniel ManginFrom time immemorial, for youths of all orientations, the first few stabs at sex often turn out to be troubling predicaments rather than the romantic events they've imagined, something Edge conveys quite well. |
| Chicago TribuneBarbara ShulgasserApart from McVay and Lea DeLaria (as a lesbian who befriends and advises the hero), the actors mainly come across as movie types rather than characters, and despite the obvious sincerity of the project, deja vu seems written into the conception. |
| TV Guide MagazineKen FoxIf it's not an entirely wholesome portrait of the immigrant experience, it's certainly an entertaining one. |
