The Edge of Seventeen

2016. Directed by Kelly Fremon Craig. Written by Kelly Fremon Craig. 
Coming-of-age movies are always fun ('80s = Breakfast Club/Pretty in Pink/Heathers, '90s = Clueless, '00s = Mean Girls) and in 2017, I really loved the Edge of 17. Today's darn kids have just as much neurosis, as many parental and adult relationship issues. There are hilarious lol moments, awkward moments, and the moments when you realize who's really worth loving. Hailee Steinfeld is a joy to watch.

La La Land

2016. Directed and written by Damien Chazelle. 

My “Best Picture” vote; not because it's the easy or obvious choice but because it was the most impressive in music, scale, and originality. Yes, it’s a musical, but don't be deterred—this is no fairytale but an "Everyman" story about going for your dreams and the struggle and sacrifices that come with that pursuit.

Master of None

Laugh-out-loud moments, a killer soundtrack, millennial plight and the first-generation American experience make this series pure binge-worthy joy. We join Dev Shah (Aziz Ansari) and his best friends in their tech-enabled lifestyles, hip New York haunts, pop culture musings, romantic escapades, and discussions on the uncertainties of independent, modern love. We also get a taste of what it's like for "brown dudes" trying to make it in mainstream entertainment. Thumbs Up 👍
