Way More than Just "Okay"

Rating: 10/10 (8 June 2014)

It's very rare that I leave a movie with the mindset of "That was a near- flawless film. This is going to become one of favorites." This has happened twice so far in 2014. The first time was after Disney's "Frozen," which I saw in January. And the second time was after this film.
And I didn't expect it, either. I mean, sure, I knew I was gonna like it. I read John Green's novel this past winter and I did quite enjoy it. So yes, I was looking forward to seeing this movie. I thought it was gonna be good. But it wasn't just good. It was incredible. Not only was it probably the most faithful book-to-movie adaptation I've ever seen (save for those bazillion Christmas Carols), but it was one of those movies that was both heart-wrenching and heart-warming at the same time. Not many films can do that, and this one pulled it off superbly.
