The "Love Story" of 2014

Rating: 10/10 (7 June 2014)

I will not spoil the movie for anyone. The movie is great for several reasons: it is a simple love story that occurs in an unexpected scenario, and emerges as the true stories of real love, where that are, with only look, feel they are known to always come up. I say it's the Love story of 2014 because it reminded me of Love Story with Ali MacGraw and Ryan O'Oneill (1970), a story of tragic love like this and it was all a success in those days. Elgort and Woodley performances was very good for a drama. I like a lot of the naturalness of both. With a budget that is a fraction of the budget of dozens of movies that are made every year, I seem to manage to create the perfect environment to frame the story. The picture is good, the acting of the kids is good, the direction is good. Willem Dafoe accomplishment that people hate him... again! Anyway, it's a drama that appeals to the reality of thousands of people suffering from cancer, that in their anonymity have the pain and anguish. Well achieved.
