Note that I've had cancer myself

Rating: 8/10 (8 June 2019)

Joseph Gordon-Levitt's performance in this movie is spot-on. The emotions, thoughts, and feelings portrayed in this movie are spot on.
I'll say this: having had cancer, everything in this movie is very relatable. I'm sure those of you who have also had cancer can agree with me. For the rest of you, I can't say much more than that for me it's relatable: which in my opinion is one of the main dimensions of great movies. Can the viewer relate to the story? From the other reviews it appears the movie does a pretty good job of getting a typical viewer hooked via that hook.
As for the writing of movie, it's not GREAT (but it's good), and often fairly predictable, but not in a cliche way. It's still good writing, and even when what you expected comes true, it's still satisfying, and I would think that you wouldn't feel as though you had wasted your time.
Now my sales pitch: I wish for you to watch this movie, because its moral is one that cannot be overstated. I won't repeat it here. You'll just have to watch the movie. It's also a great look in on for the most part what it's really like to be diagnosed with cancer.
I hope y'all give the movie a watch.
