Bret M. @BretM-3 6d With book adaptations, it’s usually very hit or miss. For instance, Call of the Wild (2020) is a horrible adaptation of the book. But I’m pleased to say that this movie does a stupendous job adapting the book it’s based on. Yes, if you’re super tuned in, you’ll notice small details from the book that are changed, but that’s just if you’re picking it apart. For the most part, the story, dialogue, and characters follow the book to a tee. Of course, this is a very beautiful story no matter which medium it is served to you through. The tragic love story of Hazel and Gus manages to bring a tear to any eye, including mine. The actors in the roles do an amazing job, especially Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort who play our main characters. I also think the casting department cooked when Willem Dafoe was cast as Peter Van Houten. The movie may have a bit of a pacing issue, but that’s a nitpick. Overall, this is a beautiful story that everyone should watch. See more Brian L. @Brian91 Mar 25 🔥🔥 Great love story! See more Kevin P @RT55971421 Mar 25 A very charming and uplifting bittersweet romcom about two teenagers with terminal cancer falling in love. It's a great subversion of the typical teen romance storyline that avoids the cliches and goes in unpredictable directions. The movie has a careful balance of sad and uplifting moments helped by its great dialogue and heartfelt acting. Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort are both really likable as Hazel and Gus. Their romance is really cute and charming. Despite the sad subject matter, the movie is very funny in a respectful and gentle manner. I love the cute indie folk rock soundtrack. The movie surpasses most romcoms with its maturity and emotional intelligence. Willem Dafoe is great as the "Never meet your heroes" author. We get an incredibly bittersweet ending that makes your appreciate the brevity of life. This is such a sincere movie that's so genuine and unashamed of its kind gentle optimistic worldview about finding the best in people and making the most of our time.

I haven't read the book. But this film seems great with it's great acting and undeniable chemistry See more VITALII H @freakynickison Feb 20 This story is undeniably inspiring and hopeful. But when it comes to the movie in general, I don’t know, something was missing. I thought that I’m gonna be crying out loud towards the end, no I didn’t. For the final product that we have it felt a bit too long. Feel free to disagree with me. Even Hazel’s family, it felt like a very important scene was missing from the movie, an emotional outburst from her parents, a substantial dialogue that would make us feel what they’re going through. There are a few movies that portray this idea and have similar themes that are executed in a better way, for instance "Me Before You" (2016) or "The Intouchables" (2011) and I’m sure there’s more. Had high expectations. To be clear, it wasn’t bad by any means, it could’ve been a lot better, that’s all I’m saying. See more Read all reviews
