Review of The Spectacular Now (2013) by Lilia A — 25 Jun 2016
The only reason I finished this movie is because I wanted it to redeem itself.
And it did...a little. For starters, the acting in this movie is phenomenal. The only character whose acting was questionable was Krystal, but she only had a few lines.
The biggest redemption was the ending. This movie did what Paper Towns did, take a frustrating, unsatisfying book ending and make it conclusive and satisfying.
Whilst the movie did a wonderful job at adapting the book, I still did not enjoy the story. To be fair, it is the fault of the book and not the fault of the movie, but it still made the movie unenjoyable.
In the end, while I did not enjoy the story, I do respect the movie's adaption of the book, and the acting of the characters. Very well done.
