Remarkable

Rating: 10/10 (3 January 2020)

An absolutely poignant, refreshing, and deeply emotional film, 50/50 takes more than another step into unforeseen territory with its unique approach on a cancer story that is both at times hard to watch and yet surprisingly funny. Joseph-Gordon Levitt gives a great performance as Adam, truly capturing the most of his unfortunate experience and situation with such gripping emotion you'll forget he's simply just acting. Seth Rogen also provides the film with its comedic relief, unsurprisingly, but does prove to be more than a worthy addition to the film and his character certainly makes for some quite hilarious moments. Most of the supporting cast in total is also quite good. The film's script is layered and seemingly perfectly executed, and its cinematography truly captures the feel and tone of the film. In the end, 50/50 was a surprisingly funny, moving, and remarkable film- that is not only bound to stand the test of time, but captures the hearts of everyone watching along.
My Rating: 10/10
