Hailee Steinfeld stars as Nadine in this coming-of-age film about an awkward teen whose life falls apart when her brother starts dating her best friend.

Funny, relatable, and oh so awkward, this heartwarming tale perfectly captures what goes through every 17 year old’s head. With a loveable cast rounded out by Kyra Sedgwick as Nadine’s ineffective mother and Woody Harrelson as Nadine’s sarcastic mentor and history teacher, The Edge of Seventeen looks like it might just be the hidden gem of the fall movie season.

This Canadian R&B sensation is back with his third studio album, Starboy. Set to be released on November 25th, Starboy marks The Weeknd’s first album sans his signature hair.

If that’s any indication of what’s to come on his 18-track mystery album, we have a whole lot to look forward to. Get ready to get your groove on to the sweet falsetto of Toronto’s own, The Weeknd.
