I loved the film. Very powerful and patient. A nice humble picture with a knockout performance by Kristen Stewart. I look forward to seeing her grow and develop as an actress.

I really enjoyed the film. I agree with Jeff, in that the performance was most definitely powerful. The characters were dynamic and Kristen Stewart as Georgia was epic. An amazing portrayal of the real life issues that rise within the disease as well as the average teen.
