The Fault in Our Stars





Cast: Shailene Woodley, Ansel Elgort, Nat Wolff(Isaac),Laura Dern(Frannie),Sam Trammell (Michael),Willem Dafoe(Van Houten) 
Director: Josh Boone
Genre:  Romance, Drama


It is a touching love story of two ailing teenagers. Its a good watch for all those who appreciate genres like this!



You may look forward to:

  • The beautifully presented love story by Josh Boone. Very simple story but equally heart felt.This movie can leave you in tears and touch many dormant chords of your heart
  • Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort were amazing with their performances at this age with not many decades of hands on experience in acting. Ansel Elgort in particular wins your heart over
  • The chemistry between the duo was splendid and romance was in abundance with all teenage love blended with situational depths. What do you think you really care for if you know you are to be dying one day! Not many would have a straight forward answer to it!
  • Nat Wolff,Laura Dern and Sam Trammell, as supporting family and friend were equally good on their part to play
  • Willem Dafoe in a different role in here, plays pleasantly an arsehole :) You will love him!




What you can sleep over:

The crazy turn of events over meeting an author, well i understand one can have a certain different value for certain things, but this aspect was more or less blown away a little too much



The dampeners you should be aware of:

  • There are certain areas where it stretches too beyond, specially while concluding, you keep wondering, how much more misery does Josh Boone intend to cover from various angles, which looks monotonous after a while
  • They hardly look sick, least as cancer patients :D






My Rating: 3.5/5
