Switching between uplifting, playful tracks to dark and melancholy, the music fits the YA movie perfectly. The soundtrack is wonderful in its diversity. Lastly, comedian Mike Birbiglia is the cancer support group leader and he adds nicely to the cast. Van Houten is brought to life by Willem Dafoe who shines as the damaged writer. Both Hazel and Gus idolize a book written by Peter Van Houten and get a chance to visit him. Nat Wolff plays Isaac, a fellow group attendee who provides amazing laughs and depths as a youth who loses his eyes to cancer. Both do very well capturing the complicated nature of being a teenager dealing with a very adult tragedy. A much different path for the two stars compared to Divergent where they play siblings. The casting was wonderful and Woodley and Elgort shine as the leads. The movie also features a trip to Amsterdam during which we get to see the phenomenal architecture of a stunning city. Which I thought was absolutely adorable and a great way not to cut stuff out. Since so much texting between Hazel and Gus occurs in the book, the director created word bubbles with different fonts to see their texts. The cinematography of the film is beautiful. It’s hard to find love when you know one day you’re going to die and leave people behind. The two become friends but Augustus feels more. One chance run in on the way to a meeting introduces the dreamy Augustus Waters, played by Ansel Elgort. Her mother urges her to attend a support group for youth with cancer to make friends. Played by Shailene Woodley, Hazel lives every day having trouble breathing and spending most of her time with her parents ( Laura Dern and Sam Trammell). The Fault in Our Stars gives us the story of Hazel Grace Lancaster, a young girl living with cancer. But we forget about who the person is outside of the disease. When someone gets sick, their illness becomes the defining aspect of their lives. The elegance of this story is that we get a story about cancer where cancer isn’t the main character. But instead, the interesting phrase describes the film that has taken hearts and tissue boxes by storm.īased on the outstanding YA novel by John Green, the Fault in Our Stars tells the love story of two teenagers dealing with cancer.
The tagline for the Fault in Our Stars seems more apt for a zombie rom-com or horror movie about a patient who falls for their doctor and tries to kill them.
