Emotional Roller-coaster

Rating: 10/10 (7 October 2014)

I rate this movie right up there with Susan Sarandon's Step Mom. Make sure you have plenty of tissues up your sleeve, I for one shed tears of happiness and heartbreak during this amazing movie. This storyline is close to my heart and seeing the 'cancer' journey through someone else's eyes always puts things in greater perspective. The story of Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters takes the viewer on an emotional roller- coaster, the feelings and attitudes towards life and love the two share. We are lead by an amazing cast of actors who are acutely sensitive in their portrayal of personalities and emotions, each showing their unique way of 'their part' in the process. The parents, the friends, support characters, all showing a variety of emotions and opinions in what would be a devastating journey for all concerned. This movie is a reminder to us all that each person is different in their views and they way they deal when facing a terminal illness.
