Hailee Steinfeld stars in a witty, edgy coming-of-age comedy about the trials of teenage life. Nadine (Hailee Steinfeld) is a typical teen: awkward, lacking in confidence and struggling with the transition to adulthood. Naturally, she loathes the minority who glide through adolescence in a golden glow of self-assurance and popularity. It doesn't help that they inlcude her older brother, Darian (Blake Jenner). Still, at least she has her childhood best friend Krista (Haley Lu Richardson) to rely on for support. Until, that is, she finds Krista in bed with Darian. Nadine's ineffective mother (Kyra Sedgwick) is no help, so as her life spirals out of control she seeks advice from a sardonic schoolteacher (Woody Harrelson). Hailee Steinfeld, who was Oscar nominated for 'True Grit', gives a perfectly pitched performance in Kelly Fremon Craig's truthful, richly observant and often outrageously funny comedy-drama. Woody Harrelson is also on top form as Nadine's reluctant, long-suffering mentor
