This film was truly inspiring and wow it's even kind of hard trying to put in words how powerful it is!

I did not know exactly what to expect from The Fault in Our Stars, I did not read the book but the trailer seemed promising. I think Shailene Woodley is one of the most promising young actresses and her name involved was the special key for me to see this film.

I usually don't cry in a film unless its story is really sad and touching. The truth is that I cried like a baby! It's absolutely impossible not to cry before such a beautiful, honest and sad story. If you ever dealt with any kind of cancer story in your family or with a friend I think this will touch you in the most powerful way possible but even if you don't it will definitely touch your heart.

In The Fault in Our Stars we start follow the painful but courageous journey of Hazel Grace Lancaster. A 17 year old girl who fights cancer since she was 13 years old when she was diagnosed with lung cancer. She starts going to a support group for young people dealing with the same circumstances of her. There she met Augustus Waters a smart and funny guy and they fell in love. Together they will try to live the true happiness of being a teenager and discover true love for the first time. Unfortunately things are not that easy for them.

Instead of being a typical story full of the usual clichès this film show us the truthful and honest side of the horrivel disease that cancer is. The scenes felt real and it's so great to see the positivity in all the messages that the film wants to deliver. There's also some humorous parts throughout the film and between all of the tears I also sketched a smile.

The performances were absolutely fantastic! Shailene Woodley is so perfect! What a great and heartfelt performance. Ansel Elgort was equally good and their chemistry was amazing! No one in the cast felt forced not at a single moment.

There's just one thing that kind felt out of place, that was the involvement of the writer Peter Van Houten, played by Willem Dafoe. His scenes were a bit weird but I understand what the character wants to transmit, although I think it was not quite made at the right way.

I would definitely recommend The Fault in Our Stars to everyone. Beautiful film!

I loved the movie too and was in tears and I tell u one thing: read the book! I finished reading the book and then watched the movie, and, oh, my! I agree with all of your comments and suggest you read the book! I finished reading it one day before the movie and… wow! And Peter Van Houten (awesome Willem Dafoe!) is more explored in the book. It is hard to put a dense book like this into a movie and all of them did a great job imo. Get the book, you'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll have feels! :3

I bet the book is beautiful too! Maybe I'll read it ;) I don't think it will have the same impact on me (because now I know what is going to happen) but it's such a powerful and truthful story.<br /> <br /> Yes, I think what was missing in the film was Peter Van Houten's development. It's good to know that he is more developed in the book.<br /> <br /> Thank you very much for your suggestion ;)
