Good movie, but at times unrealistic

Rating: 8/10 (25 November 2011)

Cancer is a difficult topic, this is a sweet film somewhat on the same lines as Juno, worth watching.
A conservative style of film making is good, especially when you want to show violence, pain etc. But when you are dealing with topics like cancer, it could also get a bit misleading or unrealistic. Getting the right balance is tough. People who haven't seen cancer close enough may get it all wrong.
Having said that most of the film works quite well, Kendrick is simply great as Katherine (she's also done a fabulous job in 'up in the air') and the magic between Gordon-Levitt & Kendrik comes across beautifully.
