What a movie!

Rating: 9/10 (27 October 2014)

Few movies have had the ability to move me along the emotional line as flawlessly as this one has. The love story of Gus & Hazel was young, but wizened, poignant and funny, and classically modern. The director did an excellent job with each scene, each contrast that made me want to watch it just a little more with each passing minute. As Gus hoped, I hoped; as Hazel hoped and dreamed, and cried, so did I. In many ways, it was an exploration of all our selves; insecurities and death, literally and figuratively. What made it incredibly relatable was the age range of these actors through which the story was portrayed; were it an older cast, it would not have been as impactful.
