Achtste-groepers huilen niet

Wth this is best movie i ever seen before You need to watch this movie beacuse this is awsome ok you are gonna watch this movie okeeeyyy

"Achtste Groepers Huilen Niet", "Eight graders Do not Cry" and titled in Mexico as "Los chicos cool no lloran" is a good dramatic and poignant film that shows part of the life story of Akkie, a 12 y.o. girl that likes to play football at school where also is a popular girl with a good heart and given to his studies.

Her life takes a turn when she is diagnosed with Leukemia and begins the ordeal that turns out to be the cancer treatment in pediatric oncology ward of the hospital where she is treated.

She and her colleagues and friends miss each other but her health continues to deteriorate, so her colleagues organized a friendly football encounter in the hospital grounds where Akkie is the main spectator from the window of her room.

The outcome is predictable from the middle of the movie but incredibly good performance of Hanna Obbeek playing Akkie, along with the rest of the cast have excellent acting combination and makes the movie is really touching, able to touch the heartstrings of moviegoers.

This is a good movie. 8/10

If only all movies for kids and families could be as good as this. This film deals with a young teenage (or close to it) girl who develops leukemia. To its credit, this movie does not try to sugar coat anything nor does it sensationalise. It does not go for cheap emotion but is still profoundly moving. There is none of the saccharine schmaltz that you may expect from a Hollywood movie. No, the emotion in this is real and unforced and balanced by joy and positivity. I can't praise this movie enough. The young actors do a fantastic job and the adults are all very relatable too. Thank goodness the kids in this movie are played by kids who actually are the age of the characters and not young-looking twenty year olds! The story is completely believable and well told. The only cautionary thing I would say though is that this is one movie where parental guidance really is warranted, but not because of any objectionable content but rather to help younger children understand and deal with the issues presented. Do make sure you have a box of tissues handy though!

Now there are so many films about deadly diseases, but this one is not like any other. A true masterpiece of Dutch cinema.

The main character of Ekka is a bright and cheerful little man, she is a leader in her class. And then at one point everything changes, because of the diagnosis - leukemia... And then comes the realization that life will never be the same again.

A touching movie that is worth watching for everyone. It teaches true friendship, faith in the best and the fact that you always need to remain human. In general, the film touched to the core. In the end, I couldn't hold back my tears, and I'm not ashamed of it at all. After all, tears are also a kind of manifestation of humanity, and not weakness at all...
