The Fault in Our Stars (2014)

            Pardon me while I dry my tears. I won’t say much about this movie, because it was basically just a really good adaptation of a really good book. I feel as though I cannot accurately determine it’s cinematic quality, because all I saw when I watched was the book come to life.
            I’m not a huge Shailene Woodley fan, but her acting was spot on during this movie, and her tears became mine. It’s such a good teen movie, but also one that all other ages can enjoy as well. It conjures up feelings of awkward first loves that everyone can relate to.
            One of my favorite aspects of the film was the animation used to bring Hazel and Gus’s text conversations to life. Their texts are a big part of the story, and it was a simple, artistic way to convey their adorable relationship.
            I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, as I know all the devoted fans of the novel will too, but I don’t think it will be one that I will be able to watch again and again. It’s just too heartbreaking. But I suppose that’s all part of the charm.


IMDb rating: 8/10
