Review of Me and Earl and the Dying Girl (2015) by Emperorpenguin — 03 Oct 2015

Me and Earl and the Dying Girl is a very well and uniquely directed movie by Alfonso Gomez-Rejon. We've seen some similar movies to this but this movie can find the balance and the right placement between the humor and the sad part of the story. This movie is equally well acted by the entire cast especially Thomas Mann who can play an awkward character realistically without me feeling awkward watching it.

This movie is also beautifully written by the author of the book which I think it's very important as he can tell very deeply about the main important character he created, Greg. I think it's interesting how He wrote Greg and Rachel as the realest characters in this movie and make others as these comical and not so serious supporting characters. I think it's important because this whole movie is supposed to tell how this dying girl can somehow change Greg's view in life. And we get to see all of that in a very deep personal way without getting distracted by the supporting cast. I also love how this movie is wrapped up with such a clear and positive message.
