Searching for my Hazel Grace

Rating: 10/10 (21 August 2014)

This is my first review and very well my last, as I find that time could be spent in many more meaningful ways. That said I felt compelled to give kudos where they are due and when a story grips you like this one does its worth a few minutes to reflect even to yourself.
I know there have been many great love stories told throughout hollowed halls of time past but this one must be included in mention of the greats. I normally will reject plots that I can see coming but with this story it was journey of getting there that made it suffer-able.
Two more quick points as this is one I would highly recommend for my friends that are softhearted enough to admit as guys we enjoy a good love story as much as the girls do (now and then). I must say the character build up was very well done and acting on both sides was phenomenal and worthy of award consideration my issue is with the bigger picture of how a story like this could very easily have had a deeper meaning.
This was done on a strictly naturalistic level and the lack of "God" is very depressing because truth is so very taboo on the silver screen. My wish of course would have painted them finding true joy and coming to the Lord but that is my wish for all major movies so I guess outside of that I couldn't have asked for a better film.
A MUST SEE AND WORTH WATCHING AGAIN.
