ryan y I've still in middle of watching it and I've seen both good and bad reviews. But I am hooked ! The actors, the performances,the writing spot on amazing. Not what I was expecting. the choreography is also very good..it adds to film in its own way.mix of known actors and fresh faces. Don't expect typical young person who has cancer flick and you'll love it ....or not.

I went in expecting an emotional, heartfelt story about a girl dying of cancer and the journey she and her friends take during that time. The film centers around Greg, who’s more or less forced by his mom to befriend Rachel, a classmate recently diagnosed with leukemia. Earl is Greg’s longtime friend and filmmaking partner, and together they awkwardly navigate this forced connection with Rachel. Now here’s the thing — from the title, the premise, and the setup, you think you’re about to watch Rachel’s story. You expect to witness her journey, her emotions, and how her illness shapes her life and those around her. But what you actually get is Greg’s story — his insecurities, his discomfort, his personal arc — while Rachel, the “dying girl” in the title, feels sidelined. Her illness is front and center, but she isn’t. And that’s where the movie really misses the mark for me. It should’ve been Rachel’s film — not just Greg’s reluctant coming-of-age journey. It felt emotionally misleading, like you’re promised one story and handed a completely different (and less meaningful) one. The writing and direction weren’t awful, but they didn’t hit where they needed to. I wouldn’t revisit this film, and I wouldn’t really recommend it unless you’re specifically curious. It lands just below okay for me — not terrible, just disappointing. 🎬💔 Not quite what it should’ve been.

Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/13/25 Full Review Audience Member Powerful performances by the young actors and a sad story... Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/28/25 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 hace que te sientas parte de la historia. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/13/25 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.
