Based on the novel of the same name by John Green, 'The Fault in Our Stars' is a melancholic love-story, that is emotionally engaging & often heart-breaking. And Shailene Woodley triumphs with a Mesmerizing Performance!
'The Fault in Our Stars' Synopsis: Two teens, both who have different cancer conditions, fall in love after meeting at a cancer support group.
'The Fault in Our Stars' narrates the love-story of two ill-fated young lovers, who find hope after meeting each other. The romance between its sympathetic leads a beautiful narrative, that is at times, funny, and at times, depressing.
Scott Neustadter & Michael H. Weber's Adpated Screenplay blends romance with grief, exceptionally well. The pace never drops, thanks to the strong Writing Material. Josh Boone's Direction is sensitive. Cinematography is picture-perfect. Editing is neat.
Performance-Wise: Its Woodley all the way. Her subtly devastating performance merits an Oscar-Nod. Ansel Elgort supports Woodley well. He particularly stands out in the emotional scenes. Nat Wolff is remarkably credible. Laura Dern is lovable. Sam Trammell is wonderful. Willem Dafoe is terrific in a moody cameo.
On the whole, 'The Fault in Our Stars' packs in tremendous romance with emotional depth. Strongly Recommended!
