Review of Me and Earl and the Dying Girl (2015) by Greg R — 18 Sep 2015

In one of the most profound experiences I have had all year through my film watching, "Me and Earl and the Dying Girl" solidifies that there will forever and always be a few hidden independent films that may go off the radar, after their initial release.

Following Greg, Earl, and Rachel, this film is about two friends who decide to have fun and take care of Rachel after she has been diagnosed with leukaemia. As Greg and Earl love to recreate their favourite classic films, they find an obligation to complete a goodbye film for Rachel.

Everything from the cinematography to the clever scripting, this film showcases everything that very few films ever do nowadays, which is display true art. Each frame and camera movement helped to explain what was going on throughout the picture, and the final act has things come together that you would have never thought was relevant to the story.

With incredible emotional heft, terrific performances, and a very raw and true story, this may just be the best film I have seen in all of 2015. This is a must see, especially for film fans. Odd, unique, and emotionally powerful, "Me and Earl and the Dying Girl" is great filmmaking at it's finest.

Superb!
