The direction and cinematography was fantastic. I'm rambling on and praising the movie now so I should probably get on with the review. I loved this movie and recommend it to everyone across all ages. I just thought this was going to be another teenie love story and boy was I wrong. Honestly, this is the best movie I have seen all year, even better than Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Godzilla which was a massive surprise. The chemistry between Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elsort is astounding and the performances were astonishing. Scene to scene this movie just manages to suck me into this beautiful world of Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augustus Waters. From the moment the title sequence starts, I was hooked straight away. not that it matters :P Wow what can I say about this movie. You will be emotionally drained.īefore I continue with this review, please note that I have not read the book, but am going to in the very near future :) Please note that Im also a (straight) guy. You will cry big man tears internally (and probably externally) after 1.5 hours. You will get addicted to their relationship. I don't even think there's a scene except for flashbacks where the two are absent.

But that's because the camera is on Woodley and Elgort the entire time. The rest of the cast is just kind of there (sorry Tramell). And the two's sidekick (Wolff) is loads of comic relief, which is surprising considering that he too is in the therapy group. In fact, he goes beyond House hatred with his apathy in this movie. Defoe is pure love/hate on almost a House level. She puts up a pretty good role as Woodley's torn mother. Laura Dern comes out of nowhere I think the last time I've seen her face was JP. The chemistry between the two is palpable. You forget they're acting each and every scene. I'm not going to write a long winded review about the summary, but I will tell you about the acting. After watching the Descendents, I knew Woodley was going places.

I don't care how many 13 year olds were in the theater with me, this movie has emotion. Average American guy right here, and I dug this flick.
