Edge Of Seventeen (1999) **

Directed by David Moreton. With Chris Stafford, Tina Holmes and Anderon Babrych. Set in Sandusky, Ohio in 1984, it's a tender coming-of-age/coming-out-of-the-closet drama, where the issues of sexual identity, friendship and love are debated at length. Less explicit than most contemporary lesbian films, but quite remarkable for its sympathetic portrayal of straight folks (parents, girlfriend, etc.).
