Woodley delivers her finest performance of her career in one of the best films of the year.

Rating: 10/10 (6 June 2014)

The following is a review of one of the best films of the year. Everyone was literary sobbing in the theater once the film killed off Augustus -- it would most likely be even more sadder if they showed it on film. But you can still feel the emotional effect of the film's characters because they look and feel so real.
The film has one of the finest performances of Shailene Woodley's career -- she deserves an Oscar nomination for Best Actress. Williem Dafoe, while he has a very short role as Van Houten, his performance haunts us because his downfall can happen to anyone. Laura Dern, who I have not seen since watching Blue Velvet did a great job in her performance.
This is very much like the "Citizen Kane" of all romantic dramas. The film is a mystery, a romance and a comedy. It is also a tragedy, much like Romeo and Juliet.
The ending to this review: I urge you to go see this. This is a great movie, all in all. This is what romantic films now have to follow up to in order to be great.
