Great drama! Really moving! 8

Rating: 8/10 (28 April 2013)

I do not understand why this movie was not released in my country. I think it is one of the most moving dramas I saw. This one is short and well-paced. It means it is very entertaining, as well as moving and shocking. It contains some humour, as well. I have not seen any more movies directed by Jonathan Levine, but he did an excellent job in this case. The cast is good, without many stars, but with actors portraying very believable roles and nice characters. Joseph Gordon Levitt, still very young as an actor, has an excellent career. He does very believable jobs. You should see him in movies like "Batman: the dark knight rises", "Ten reasons to hate you", "Looper", "The lookout" and "500 days of summer". He is good at many different genres and roles. He is the protagonist and does an excellent job portraying the part of a young man who suffers from a very serious cancer. Seth Rogen, a specialist in comedies, delivered his best performance in the movie. I did not like him much before. He is the main character's best friend and adds a comedy tone. The actresses Anna Kendrick, Bryce Dallas Howard and specially, Anjelica Huston, are very good in their female-roles. The whole cast is excellent. The best thing about the movie is its capacity of making us believe what it tells. It actually made me feel in the characters' foots. I almost cried at the end. There are some disgusting and necessary scenes. It is curious that it adds some humour in the scenes (I guess some patients like this tell jokes in order to take it easier as a therapy). The movie makes you value your health even more. In conclusion, I recommend this movie to anyone who likes good movies, specially dramas... 8.
