The director might be soaring after back to back success. Interestingly, both the films dealt with writers, but the main themes were romance. He's just a two movie old and now the movie goers can expect eagerly for his next venture. This movie was based on the teen novel of the same name about a 16-years-old cancer patient. Hazel Grace, who is battling between life and death is also a strong fighter against all the odds. When her mother sends her to attend the group therapy she meets Augustus Water, a fellow member. As she is being sarcastic, Waters finds an interesting character in her. A friendship develops and they spend more time together. Even knowing there will no future together, the relationship progress and how everything ends is the rest. Usually cancer themed movies are called tearjerker films. Surprisingly, this movie's aim was different. Of course emotion strikes, but the story narration and character developments were the basic goal. Three-fourth of the movie was well told story about teen romance. The afterwards account begins with a twist which were portrayed in the usual manner. Like all the movies, kept sentiments in the last part. The last quarter was very predictable, but they avoided cliche as much possible. ‘‘Apparently, the world is not a wish-granting factory.’’ The parents' role was kind of mysterious one, that diverts viewer from their anticipation. Interesting it also creates some doubts. Compared to the previous movie 'The Spectacular Now', Shailene Woodley looked completely different. That means the physical transformed to look a perfect 16 year old was amazing. Her performance as well gives an impression that the Hollywood's future Academy award grabbing the female lead is on making. At this rate she can do that like Jennifer Lawrence did. As for the lead actor, it is a good breakthrough and expecting the same result from his next movie as well. This movie, which runs over a 2 hour was smartly sliced the contents and organized those on the right spots. Many had agreed it was a fine cinema transformation from a book. So you can try this, but be careful because nowadays most of the teens movies are overrated because of the overwhelmed teen audience. The warning meant only for the older people. I'm sure the youngster will love this movie, I mean most of them.

Ok, yes - it's cheesy and at times quite nauseatingly sentimental, but it is also at times quite a touching story as two determined people who meet over a gentle meal of chemotherapy. "Hazel" (Shailene Woodley) - never without her portable oxygen cyclinder - attends a support group where she encounters the ostensibly recovered "Gus" (Ansel Elgort) who has turned up to support his blind best friend "Isaac" (Nat Wolff). They both have a certain disdain for "process" and a fondness for reading. It's that latter fascination that leads them to write to the author of their favourite book. They are surprised when they not only receive a reply, but the offer of an all expenses paid trip to Amsterdam to meet him! She has to convince her parents (Laura Dern and Sam Trammell) that it's a goer, and then off they go for a bonding exercise that introduces them to a Willem Dafoe who really does challenge their ideals. The story then takes quite a dramatic twist, changing the dynamic between the couple somewhat and it's at this point we start to sniff that sweet small of melodrama and the plot hits the heart-string tugging skids a bit. There's a degree of chemistry between the two actors and Dafoe also turns in quite well for his one or two scenes but the rest of it meanders just a bit too much. It's over two hours long, and there's far too much time spent on lacklustre character development. Everyone is easy on the eye and I didn't hate it, it's just a little too sugary for me. If anyone wants to rehearse my eulogy with me, do let me know.

"The Fault in Our Stars" manages to strike a delicate balance. It's a film centered on a difficult subject, yet it avoids feeling manipulative. The strength of the narrative lies in its grounded approach. The story, adapted from John Green's novel, explores the lives of young people navigating serious illness with a refreshing honesty. The direction keeps the focus firmly on the characters, allowing their relationships and struggles to resonate. The cinematography, while subtle, creates an intimate and believable world. Shailene Woodley delivers a powerful performance, anchoring the film with her nuanced portrayal of Hazel. Ansel Elgort, alongside her, creates a believable and touching romantic connection. Even in his smaller role, Willem Dafoe adds a layer of depth. The script is a major asset, offering realistic and emotionally impactful dialogue. The soundtrack effectively amplifies the film's emotional beats, contributing to the overall atmosphere without overpowering the narrative. In essence, "The Fault in Our Stars" is a compelling film that handles its sensitive subject matter with sincerity. It's a story that stays with you, thanks to strong performances, a well-crafted script, and thoughtful direction. It succeeds in creating a moving experience that transcends typical teen romance tropes.
