Not many movies have launched an emotional grappling hook into me, but this one did! It had me smiling for the first 3/4 of the movie, then eating ice cream with tears in it for the last 1/4 of it! I don't tear up easily, but I'm glad to see a movie out there with some substance to it nowadays!

Asa just makes this movie, even though he is the second lead or co-lead! He is adorable! When one can reach great acting that young, with a face look or small motions, bravo! As my title says I cried quite few times, The second half of movie exceeds the first; However all through story one emotes. As I like to say in many a review, This is not a new subject plot wise, with teens as cast. I would put this a little above middle. 7/10

The first half of the movie, I previously thought, was superficial. Skye and Calvin had so much dynamics together yet it could have been executed in a way that viewers could find it more profound. While Maisie Williams had an amazing performance, Asa Butterfield's acting fluctuates throughout the movie.

However, the second half shows why it deserves a 10 stars for me. In theatre, this type of illness-death story has been told plenty of times, creating a good number of conventions and cliche for the genre. This movie gives you something completely different. It depicts a beautiful and wonderful platonic friendship that people have rarely seen even though we desperately need one (despite the fact that deep down inside, we still ship them because of the chemistry they had together). In addition, it deals with cancer and death in the most brutal yet very blunt and honest way, which hits you really hard at your emotion.

I love the direction it chose to take. It's cute and vibrant and filled with energy, even till the last minute of the movie, despite how tough the problem they were dealing with.

Personally, as a person around their age who is also working on figuring out myself, I relate to them considerably and feel inspired significantly by this movie. It's an important one. One that I would love to recommend to everyone.

For a while... this movie made forget arya stark, just skye

I recently decided to watch this after having seen Asa Butterfield's role in "Sex Education" on Netflix and thinking he was an amazing actor. His work in this film is no different.

The story lacks substance in some parts, but throughout the movie, you grow attached to the relationship between Butterfield (Calvin) and Maisie Williams (Skye.) The story is cheesy in parts and at times Williams put me off, but there's no denying Butterfield's depth of character in that he conveys emotion so well, albeit awkwardly at times and makes the viewer fond of him.

The film contains some great heart-warming moments, some which we can all identify with while still providing the occasional laugh.
