Reviews
I
have been looking forward to this movie for a while. I saw the trailer
and was instantly gripped by it. I got to see it early at the Dallas
Film Festival three months before it was actually released. The film was
incredible. The dialog was amazing, If you enjoyed fast wit like Juno,
then you'll have a blast with this one. It's a must see, and deals with
cancer in such a touching way. The acting was amazing. Nick Offerman and
Connie Britton were hilarious and touching. Thomas Mann, Olivia Cooke,
and RJ Cyler were also brilliant in every way. The director, Alfonso
Gomez-Rejon, did an amazing job here. Every scene had it's own feel to
it that made the film feel unique.
It captures high school in a great way that I didn't expect. It shows cliques in a new light, and it gives a great representation of how the protagonist deals with it. The film changes tone with ease. With a gradual enough change that doesn't feel forced or awkward. It's an amazing movie.
