Good actors - average story - Edge of Seventeen review by CP Customer
Another movie about coming out, this time set in in Ohio(USA) where a teenager with a girlfriend over a summer finds out he does like the boys more than his girlfriend, but pressure from parents and friends is hard to deal with - not made easier by his appearance; he does really change into a Boy George-type, which seems a bit over the top, but the director may have had a reason. Of cousre, he is being abused by men who want "fresh meat" and he even manage to fall in love which is not reciprocated.

Good little film - Edge of Seventeen review by TB
This is a good little coming of age film about self discovery and the highs and lows of coming out as gay. The film captures really well the feeling of the main character questioning himself and his desires, worrying about what others think and stressing over the hurt and uncertain that’s caused along the way to discovering who he really is. A great soundtrack also!! Worth a watch.
