Perfect

Rating: 10/10 (28 August 2014)

Having read the book first I was excited but also very sceptical to watch this movie. I love the book and of course I was afraid the movie would just not be as good as the book was. And I am very glad that it didn't disappoint me. The movie was very true to the book, there was really only one scene I was missing and nothing was majorly changed. The main actors were really good and I believe that is what made this movie as good as it is. But it's also the small stuff - rooms looked exactly like I've imagined them when I was reading the book and even when I first saw Ansel he looked just like how I'd imagined Gus to look. I don't really know of anyone who has read the book and hated it so my guess is that you will enjoy this movie. It has - just like the book - a bit of everything, from humor to sadness. At the beginning I felt like things were going too quickly, but a lot happens in the book. I also felt that some actors couldn't be as serious as they needed to be. Luckily the main actors were perfect and the ending had the right effect (even though I knew how it was going to end). I loved the movie and would recommend it to anyone.
