Beautiful movie following a teen trying to figure it all out through ups and downs. Amazing acting and cinematography.
If you liked this, wait until you read the book
A little generic but still very charming and emotional
Not your average teen romance movie. The characters are very three dimensional and the problems they face are fundamental, human problems.
Fantastic movie. Great acting, very believable story. Kind of "feel-good" but more "feel-real".
A bit of a Twist to the movie "A walk to remember ".Sweet romance
I really liked it. The actors did a great job of portraying the story
An A24 high school romance and its exactly what you’d expect from A24: sappy, tragic, partially redemptive while left unresolved at the end.
Cast great, movie interesting, i would maybe give some extra plot line but it was good
It was interesting, sometimes I liked it but sometimes I hated it. Miles Teller is very good though. I think he may be around for a while.
