Out on the Edge

About This Movie

Out on the Edge is a gritty, intense look at a troubled teen navigating a fractured family. The atmosphere hangs heavy with despair, really capturing that late '80s vibe of disconnection and struggle. Danny's descent into drug use feels raw and unfiltered, and the pacing keeps you on edge—no pun intended. The performances are pretty solid too, particularly from the actors portraying his parents; they really bring that conflicted dynamic to life. It’s not just a cautionary tale, though. It dives into mental health in a way that feels honest, albeit uncomfortable. It's distinct for its time and handles heavy themes without sugar-coating them. Worth a watch if you appreciate the exploration of real issues in a dramatic space.
