oh my, now I read the book before going into this and absolutely loved it. I always have a problem with films based off some of my faves as they never end up being as good as the original source material.

I think one of the best things about this movie is the amazing casting of Elle Fanning and Justice Smith as Violet and Theodore. They brought out the true nature of the characters and they did it brilliantly.

One thing that I would loved to have seennis Theo's dad as I he wasn't truly exempt from the book which helped me more understand Theo's depression.

Warning, Major Spoilers Ahead:

This movie did a great job of showcasing the message of trying to be there for people. At the begining of the film we are led to believe that Violet is the one with the suicidal thoughts as the first time we meet her she is standing upon a ledge , getting ready to jump.
As the film progresses the attention is diverted from Violet as through Finch she has learnt to find some truly bright places. We then focus upon Finch as we truly see that he is the one who has been harbouring issues all of this time. I have read the book so I did know that he was going to commit suicide but it didn't make the scene of Violet finding out any less impactful. This movie is definitely worthwhile.
