Now is Good - Review

Rosie's Review - 

So on Saturday night Ollie and myself both sat down to watch his lovefilm and we weren't expecting a lot. As soon as the film started i knew i would like it. It was quirky, with a good soundtrack and exactly my kind of film. The story follows 17 year old English girl Tessa (played amazingly by Dakota Fanning - her accent was spot on!) who compiles a list of the things she wants to do before she dies of her long suffering leukemia. Her father is a cancer freak continuously looking for cures and her mother has never really been there. I wont go into too much more of the plot but there is also an incredibly good looking next door neighbour, ooo I say! This film is the perfect mix of humour with great tragedy - by the end Ollie and I (along with my cat) were crying. I can't believe how it got such an average rating on imdb and how it is not more well known. It has become one of my favourite films (not that any of you care).

Verdict: 10/10

 

Ollie's Review -
Lol hey. I felt very much the same as Rosie about this film. Dakota Fanning comes of age and is a far cry from her character in 'Dreamer' that we'd watched earlier in the week. It's emotional and shows the impact of her illness from everyone around her, her parents, her best friend, her new love interest and many others. It's beautifully quotable, and I will always remember this film. After the credits rolled, Ellie Goulding's haunting 'I Know You Care' began to play, and I turned to Rosie and we said we'd never felt a mood like we were feeling after watching a film together. Just amazing really. So glad we decided to watch it.

Verdict: 10/10

P.s - sorry for our absence lately, we both are in the middle of exams so..
