Aspect Ratio: 1.85:1Audience Rating: R (Restricted) Binding: DVD EAN: 0712267990429 Format: Anamorphic, Color, DVD-Video, NTSC Label: Strand Releasing Home Languages: Manufacturer: Strand Releasing Home MPN: 9904 Number Of Items: 1 Picture Format: Anamorphic Widescreen Publisher: Strand Releasing Home Release Date: July 05, 2000 Running Time: 99 minutes Studio: Strand Releasing Home Theatrical Release Date: 1998 Editorial Review: Description: Set in 1984 in Sandusky, Ohio, "Edge of Seventeen" follows the coming-out of a naive 17-year-old teenager at exactly the moment when gender-bending pop stars like Boy George and Annie Lennox of the Eurythmics were flaunting androgynous images. As the youth, played with a heartbreaking sweetness by Chris Stafford, goes through his first rites of gay passage (after being callously used by the slightly older boy who brings him out, he tries to retreat to heterosexuality with his closest female friend) he emerges as a poignant gay everyman. Lea DeLaria is wonderful as his butch lesbian boss at the amusement park restaurant where he meets his first boyfriend. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Edge of my seat!!!!This was a very good movie, I have seen all of writer/producer Todd Stephen's films, and I seen them in the opposite order they were made. I seen Another Gay Movie, Gypsy 83, and then Edge of 17. I have to say this film left me wanting to see more and at the end if it would have just been 20 minutes longer, but even if it were i'd probably still say if it had been longer. It is one of those movies you hate to see end, also the ending itself was one of those that you have to sort of quess what you ...

This movie also proves that there are two main types of gays and it is really difficult, painful, complex and unnerving when those two types of gays come together; moreover, the harsh reality of a family's typical reaction--independent of how a gay may be categorized--in particular, the mother. Given that this movie achieves a wonderful depiction of the truths of the gay community, this movie is still very ...

Rating: - Coming out with confusion.I think is a very good movie, the boy,Eric, is just not sure if he is gay or not, he has this cute girlfriend who is in love with him, he starts having many changes on his conduct and looks, his mom knows deep inside the truth, you see his first gay sexual experiences and his entrance to the gay scene, Rating: - 16 candles for the gay communityI just love this little gem of a movie. If your a "child of the 80s" like i am, this will certainly bring back a lot of memories. Performances are outstanding, as well as touching! I bought it! |
