What critics compared Post Grad to
With this follow-up to a first feature-length script (the lackluster “Post Grad”) Craig has armed herself with one of the best films of 2016, and one of the best coming-of-age stories in the past 20 years.
This is the directing debut for Kelly Fremon Craig, who previously wrote the entirely forgettable 2009 comedy Post Grad .
The Edge of Seventeen is a delightful and honest teen comedy with a mature soul, written and directed by Kelly Fremon Craig (who also wrote the Alexis Bledel coming-of-age comedy Post Grad ).
Fremon Craig (whose main credit prior to this was as writer of the poorly received Post Grad ) doesn't try anything big or bold visually, and that's fine; she knows how to keep things moving.
Kelly Fremon Craig, surprisingly, the writer of the awful, plastic-fake Post Grad (2009), makes her directorial debut here with a great deal of understanding and love.
Director and screenwriter Kelly Fremon Craig — who wrote 2009’s Post Grad , which was an object lesson in how not to tell stories about young women in the same way that Edge is a master class in getting it right — smartly tweaks the limitations of a low budget into that timeless vibe.
