Absolutely incredible! Take tissues..

Rating: 9/10 (26 June 2014)

I mean, wow. From the moment it started I was immediately sucked straight into the beautiful and traumatic world of these two characters Hazel and Augustus. Now, I have read the book, and the book is so incredible it made me doubt how this film would turn out. I had very high hopes for this film and was incredibly scared they were going to ruin the book. I could not be more wrong. I cried so many times and was completely 100% captivated. It is definitely the best film I have seen this year, beating out my love for Captain America: The Winter Soldier.The chemistry between the characters was so captivating and incredible was so heart-grabbing, and I cant even begin to speak about the casting department without getting overwhelmed! They could not have casted a better cast for this film. Shailene Woodley, Ansel Elgort, and Nat Wolff are so extraordinary in this film, that word does not even do them justice! They 100% absolutely created such emotion, comedy and beauty straight up. I am a particular fan of Ansel Elgort, and the way he played his character Augustus Waters. It reflects the character in the book perfectly, down to the captivating smile and quick wit, he really made the character come to life and made the film incredible. Ansel made this film funny and witty and made you instantly fall in love with the character. The chemistry between the whole cast was stunning and really showed in the film, it made it seem so real, which is what this film intended to do, the actors brought such emotion. Issac, played by Nat Wolff, was so funny, intentionally and unintentionally, he was brilliant, I would argue he made the film completely what it is, brilliant! All the other characters were casted perfectly, and again, consistently with the book. They did miss out a few scenes from the book in this film, which I expected, but they managed to only cut out minor scenes, the film was extremely close the book and was just, lacking a better word, perfect. It moved me, and everyone in the cinema, including the guys, I recommend everyone goes and see it, you don't have to read the book to be moved by this film, but the film will make you WANT to read it, it is that good. Even the soundtrack is incredible and the camera work is just exquisite! You are under direct orders to go and see this film, just make sure to take lots of tissues, its a non-stop heart-wrenching, tear-jerking, beautiful romantic drama, and with the help of some incredible acting and directing, it is also a little comedic!
