This would be five stars if there was a little more Erwin.
I have a hard time believing Hailee Steinfeld would only have one friend based solely on how adorable she is, but other than that, this is quality coming of age film with a great balance of comedy and drama.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sharp-edged comedy about the collision of adolescent rage and vulnerability, where a betrayed friendship becomes the stage for messy, honest reckoning. Tonally deft, it's funny and painful in the same breath, capturing what it actually feels like to be seventeen and convinced the world is against you.
