Don’t Think Twice, The Lobster, Hail, Caesar! Get Critics Choice Awards Nominations

The Critics Choice Awards are definitely a departure from many awards show trends, especially with a wider swathe of genre categories. For this year, when it comes to comedy, the films nominated are all over the place (Deadpool, Central Intelligence and the Coen Brothers’ Hail, Caesar! are all nominated together), but some true gems that might not get recognized for other awards get some recognition here amidst all the noise from buzzworthy dramas like Moonlight and Manchester by the Sea.

2016 has brought a handful of really wonderful coming-of-age dramedies. Namely, Hunt for the Wilderpeople, Sing Street, and Morris From America have been fantastic movies perfectly balancing adolescence, drama, and humor.

From the looks of this brand new trailer, the upcoming The Edge of Seventeen might just be part of that group.

We’ll see if that’s true when it hits theaters on November 18th.

Edge of Seventeen Trailer Shows Promise as Another Solid Teen Coming of Age Dramedy

Just because well-trodden territory is well-trodden territory doesn’t mean worthwhile things can be found or made from it. 

For instance, Edge of Seventeen from writer/director Kelly Fremon starring Hailee Steinfeld follows the crushing teen angst of high school and everything surrounding it. A whole subgenre of this type of movie surely exists on Netflix, but from the looks of the trailer, it might be worth catching.
