Max Weiss Baltimore Magazine Rachel's dying isn't really about Rachel at all. It's about Greg. In fact, everything that happens in the film is about Greg. Rated: 2.5/4 Jun 10, 2016 Full Review Ty Burr Boston Globe I found myself relishing the skill of the cast and laughing at the sharply turned dialogue while wincing at the self-consciousness of the storytelling and the self-congratulatory pop-culture references. Rated: 2.5/4 Dec 31, 2015 Full Review Leah Greenblatt Entertainment Weekly Somewhere along the way Earl eases up on the suburban-Wes Anderson whimsy and starts to find its heart, infusing the story's self-conscious cleverness and trick-shot set pieces with something sweeter, sadder, and even a little bit profound. Rated: B+ Dec 31, 2015 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies It’s a story with a lot to say about the value of true friendship, and it’s not ashamed to tackle a difficult subject in its own personal way. I kinda like that boldness. Rated: 4/5 Aug 24, 2022 Full Review Victoria Luxford City AM Where so many American indie flicks would overdo it on the kooky characters and wink-wink one-liners, this (film) knows when to hold back. Like Greg himself, Me and Earl is gentle, self-effacing and a good deal smarter than it lets on. Rated: 4/5 Feb 18, 2022 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins The further the picture progresses, the more it fizzles and flounders. Rated: 6/10 Dec 4, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Powerful performances by the young actors Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/05/25 Full Review Milagros V Hay demasiadas películas de amor adolescente, pero pocas demuestran lo importante que es la amistad en esta edad, todavía lloro al recordar el final. Los diálogos, cinematografía, cada personaje, todo crea una atmósfera que te atrapa y hasta te sentí parte de la historia. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/23/25 Full Review The H Was an okay movie, expected it to be a lot better honestly. One thing I liked is that it wasn't the typical love story, fall in love with someone dying trope that so many other sick type movies have done, they were just friends & forced to hang out with each other. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/19/25 Full Review Rosana B Um filme de comédia dramática de amadurecimento, tipo um “Escrito nas Estrelas” sobre amizade com doses severas de comicidade, baseado num romance igualmente fofo e sofrido, onde o protagonista quebra frequentemente a “quarta parede”, para excluir a angústia do espectador informando o que ela não morre no final, uma produção singela e caprichosa, gentil, necessário, dolorido, divertido, reflexivo, emocionante, realista, adorável e apaixonante… Nos faz chorar horrores e refletir muitíssimo... Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/18/25 Full Review Harlie S Watch it. It's been almost 10 years since it was released as I'm writing this, and I have never felt more human; and I mean that in the most beautiful way. We're all just people and this is the greatest form of example of that. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/25 Full Review Елисей Э 9/10 приятный эмоциональный Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/25 Full Review Read all reviews
