What critics compared Now Is Good to
The prospect of a Sundance-wowing indie take on the themes of The Fault in Our Stars or Now Is Good sounds irksome beyond words, but Alfonso Gomez-Rejon’s very likable film confounds both expectations and prejudices.
A double award-winner at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, it hails from the bizarrely popular teen cancer romance genre (see also Dakota Fanning in Now is Good and Mia Wasikowska in Restless) but displays an ingenious disdain from minute one for the saccharine demands of those movies.
This is neither The Fault in Our Stars nor Now Is Good , nor is it Gus Van Sant’s appalling Restless (11) in which Mia Wasikowska wore adorable hats and a pixie crop in an advertisement for the beauty benefits of teenage cancer.
