Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Loui Blair It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

FilmBuff1994 Me and Earl and the Dying Girl is a great movie with a well written plot and a stellar cast. It is a film that manages to balance emotional, heavy themes with very subtle, but also side slittingly hilarious comedy. The many film parodies Earl and Greg make are a delight, just as much as the scenes with Rachel that nearly had me in tears. However, I will say that the film is not as special as it thinks it is, there is an air of confidence throughout that they are doing something unlike any other film, but I can think of several other movies (The Way Way Back, Rushmore) that created a very likewise vibe. As well as that, it constantly refers to what is going to happen at the end in a way that they clearly thought they were being clever, but I did not care for it. The cast is all around brilliant, Thomas Mann, RJ Cyler and Olivia Cooke are all the stars in their titular roles, and the likes of Molly Shannon, Nick Offerman and Jon Bernthal also shine in smaller, but very noticeable parts. Fun and sweet. A very enjoyable hour and a half, I would recommend Me and Earl and the Dying Girl to anyone looking for a good comedy drama. A young boy gets involved with a new girl in town, despite her fatal illness. Best Performance: Olivia Cooke

Raj Doctor I saw a good movie. It was different...."ME and EARL and the DYING GIRL"This movie was not released in India. It is not a normal "normal" movie. The way it is scripted is slightly different. It is based on a debut novel of Jesse Andrews with the same name.Greg (Thomas Mann) is a loner in high school. He is forced by his parents to meet a childhood friend Rachel (Olivia Cooke) who has been diagnosed with cancer. At first neither of two are interested in each other, but Greg's quirkiness interests Rachel and they meet regularly. Grey introduces her to his friend Earl (RJ Cyler) with whom he is making parodies of famous films. Earl convinces Greg to spend more time with Rachel. Grey , unknowingly sacrifices his life, his studies, his work, because he wants to make a film for Rachel. When Rachel's opts out of chemotherapy, Greg is devastated and argues with her and fights with Earl.who thinks Greg is very insensitive person. When Rachel - in the final stage of cancer and admitted to hospital -depresses Grey more. In the end Greg visits Rachel to show the film he made for her. While watching the film Rachel falls in a coma and dies after few hours. Greg reads a letter written by Rachel. He realizes that like him Rachel too was in LOVE. Greg pens down a book about his LOVE and along with the video mails it to his college.The film reflects a deeper complexities of feelings among two people in LOVE - who meet each other, exchange and talk to each other - but face an ordeal to cognizant & accept their LOVE feeling...Director Alfanso who was an assistant to Martin Scorsese wanted to show his style of film-making sensibilities reflecting the loss he faced in life of his father through this filmHe does a commendable job directing this unique interesting film. Thomas Mann and Olivia Cooke have acted well along with Rj Cyler, whose role as Earl is a bit curtailed in the movie. The movie grabbed several awards and nominations in many festivals. The songs of the movie are heart-warming. It is a good watch for people who are not in touch with their own sense of inner LOVE and unaware of their feelings of LOVE for others.I would go with 6.25

jsmalls918 It's rare that I give a movie a 10 out of 10. Yet, I had good reason. This movie was hands down the most beautifully developed and heart-wrenchingly performed movie I've ever seen. It really made me realize that there are still good people, and people who appreciate good people, out there. Though it's a movie, movies like this can only be based on real life experiences that really rip your heart apart. Greg is so quirky and awkward, but in a rare and hilarious way, and Earl just adds to the hilarity. His pure genuineness, kindness, and 'over-the-top humility,' as Rachel put it, come packaged in that awkward casing; deep down you knew those former qualities were always there, but they truly emerge and blossom as you see him give of himself to Rachel day in and day out. He almost sacrificed his senior year and future for her. That is true friendship and love at its finest.Though Greg started spiraling (understandably) when he found out Rachel was stopping treatment, he showed his true colors when he brought the corsage to the hospital to give to his date. My heart was very satisfied when I heard that ambulance as he got out of the limo. He proved to be a real gentleman and good person, which are rare commodities nowadays. I think the beauty of the movie truly hit me at the end of the movie when they revealed quirky and artistic things about Rachel even after her death. (On a side note, I knew that I couldn't believe Greg when he said she wouldn't die That was the only thing he said in that movie that didn't sound genuine.) As Greg walked through the room, perusing her shelves of concave book art, and as I watched him trace the squirrel's path from wall tree to wall tree, hearing him describe the story behind her ashes being thrown in the park behind her house, I couldn't help but fall in love with her character and the movie as a whole. The ending was frustrating and painful and deeply heart-wrenching, but piercingly beautiful. I would watch this 1,000 times more. I don't know if I even want to watch another movie like it because I'll always have this profound, magnificent.movie to compare it to. I am deeply wonderfully satisfied.

Erin Harrington In this era of every movie being based on a book, Me and Earl and The Dying Girl proves that maybe the movie can be better than the book. Jesse Andrews, the author of the book, sets up the story perfectly for a film adaptation, to the point where it almost seems as if this was his true intent with the story. This film is beautiful, it plays with stop motion, shaped frames, camera angles and drawing in a way that no other film has done in recent years. The handmade aesthetic of the film is perfect for the main character Greg as his mind sees the world through film. This is a movie for everyone, film fanatics will appreciate the many references and homages to past films and people looking for a teen, cancer romance will find this is the perfect story, feel good and heart breaking. This film is often compared to The Fault in Our Stars, for a good reason, the stories are very similar, however Me and Earl seems to be what TFIOS could have been. This film stands alone, an audience doesn't need to read the book to understand and fall in love/hate with the characters. The acting and direction is stunning, with the three leading teens stealing the show. This is truly a spectacle of what teen flicks could be if we don't settle for the mediocre films being produced today.
