Movie review - "Edge of Seventeen" (2016) ***1/2

Entertaining coming of age tale which suffers compared to previous entries in this genre produced by James L Brooks - notably Say Anything and Bottle Rocket - in that by now much of this territory is covered by TV. However there is some strong writing and playing and the hero is different - different to me, anyway - an awkward, smart, snappy thing, well played by Hailee Steinfeld, Haley Lu Richardson (a new talent who gives the impression she's been around forever), Blake Jenner, Woody Harrelson, Hayden Szeto, etc.
