Review of Me and Earl and the Dying Girl (2015) by Ydnar4 — 21 Sep 2015

I think that Me and Earl and the Dying Girl is a good movie.. I just didn't like it. I found the performances in the movie fairly dry to start out with but they did get a lot better as the film went on.

I also felt like a film with heavy emotional plot like this would have more character development, sure the characters were complex but by the end of the film I still didn't really feel like I knew them.

I think this is more of a hipster film and I'm sure there are going to be many people who find something they like about this movie I just wasn't satisfied. I really found several of the jokes kind of lame as well.

I like the avoidance of clichés in this film which is difficult with teen cancer film, but I'd take 50/50 over this movie any day, but that's just my opinion.
