The Fault in Our Stars (2014)

The Fault in Our Stars is a 2014 film based on a book by the same name which i watched online. The full movie was directed by Josh Boone, and stars Shailene Woodley as Hazel Grace Lancaster and Ansel Elgort as Augustus Waters. The story follows a girl named Hazel Grace a cancer patient who lives with her mum and dad. One day when Hazel Attends a cancer support group she meets and befriends a boy named Augustus Waters. The story I found to be quite intriguing and well done, but throughout the film there were some sequences which in my opinion didn’t make too much sense. The acting I personally found to be the strongest aspect of the movie, especially Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort, I felt that they both gave a very strong and emotional performance. The characters were fine for the most part, but I did find Shailene Woodley’s character Hazel to be quite annoying and a lot of the time kind of a kill joy.  

The music for the film I personally didn’t mind and that’s i free download Fault in Our Stars, but there were some songs that did feel a Little overbearing. The film also had some strong atmosphere, especially one scene involving Willem Dafoe’s character Peter Van Houten talking to Hazel and Augustus. The film especially toward the end was also a little emotional, but I personally didn’t cry. Now I wouldn’t say that I was bored at any point during the film, but I wouldn’t say that I’d watch it again any time soon. Over all I give it a 5/10 Steady, but not my type of movie.
