Kiss and Cry

I watched this film not knowing it was a true story, what makes this film so powerful is everything that went into it. The story is of a girl with a rare form of cancer who fights it keeping a positive mind and body, even with a trachea tube she still sings, skates and fights to the end. The locations are Carley's home, her school, the hospital she was in and she is played by a close friend Sarah Fisher. There are no words to describe how delicately this film is executed, the director Sean Cisterna created a masterpiece, a truly wonderful execution of the life of an amazing girl. The entire cast should be proud of themselves, the family, the friends, her skating coach, it felt so real. I never knew Carley but at the end of this movie I now know I won't ever forget her. Some musicians look up to Bach or Beethoven, Boxers to Muhammed Ali, Climbers to Edmund Hilary. There's not enough words allowed in a review to say how much this movie and Carley moved me, other than I found the person to lookup to. My parents brought me into this world, Carley taught me how to live in it. Always Smile!

Great acting especially Sarah Fisher playing her friend made it even better. I'm sure she actually felt the experience herself. This film is a tear jerker.

This film tells the story of a young woman who is diagnosed with a very rare form of cancer at the age of seventeen. She keeps on fighting with the greatest support from her friends and family.

"Kiss and Cry" is a really beautiful film. The characters are all beautiful within and without. Carly's brave spirit is inspirational. The fact that her family, classmates and friends support her throughout the battle is very touching. The haircut campaign is tear jerking.

There are a lot of scenes that makes people smile as well. It is great that they can make a comedy out of changing a tracheostomy tube. The big dinner at the end makes me happy too.

It is a beautiful film. The fact that Carly's real life friends plays her shows how courageous and loving Carly's friends are. It was a short life, but a life well lived and loved.

Just watched "His Fatal Fixation" (I think it was called, not sure, she is so good in that too) and heard about this movie.

I came here after reading a bit about the circumstances of the life of a amazing young woman and her world.

Yes, the movie was inspirational and full of hope, which is too bad, when it should of been like the actual events, life enforcing and a magnificent life lived.

The movie (script) was cheesey and awkward at times, but at times hit (probably accidentally, like the hospital scene) so I'll say poignant and real here and there. Real life can be that way too.

In defense of this presentation it was probably a rushed production fettered to a so so script (took itself too seriously _all the time,_ jittery timeline/ events, could of implemented the romance dialog so much better / entertaining forgoing the so worn out cliches etcetera).

The guy (love interest) had difficult (poorly written) lines to deal with and his part should of been more of a consistent rock always (like the dad was written) there instead of the silly drama they wrote in there that was a time waster in such an important story.

Overall I can see how this romance as scripted was diverging for some commenting here.

But the actor actually did well and with a better script could of shined.

Actually the cast was very competent but somewhat failed by a script that hit all the worn cliches.

Actress was tremendous and I could feel her. Productions and producers should pick up on this actress before the chance is lost.

I think Carley's story, from various articles and narritives from those that knew her, was more a fighter, doer and life liver rather than the hope dripping requiem sense of this movie. We all die, have a set time limit, and I get the feeling Carley lived her allotted timeline ferociously.

Not the casts fault (they were excellent) or the overall production, as I've harped to death, the script (in spite of a great subject and probably lots of factual and emotional input) let them and us down.

I mean this as this movie was good, but a thing that could of been magnificently rendered as the true events.

This movie is about a young girl, who is diagnosed with a rare type of cancer at age seventeen. She hides it in the begining until she's at a breaking point. This has the symbolic of our everyday life... No matter what people will find out that you are struggling and they're ready to help you!
