Now Is Good

So you've heard of The Fault in Our Stars. We've been caught up in the tragedy that is Augustus Waters and Hazel Grace. However, but have you ever heard about Tessa?

Dakota Fanning and Jeremy Irvine come together in Now Is Good based off of the novel Before I Die. It's all about young Tessa who, after years of treatment, gives up. She's tired and done. All she wants to do is live before she dies and that is exactly what she does. In the process, we go along a roller coaster ride of emotions. From her mother to her father and from her little brother and best friend to her boyfriend, you will feel a strange happiness and deep hurt as well.

Beautifully crafted and expertly told, this film shows why sometimes the visual images and audio effects of a film can be just as powerful, if not more powerful than the written word itself.

On a personal note, I would strongly recommend wiping off all make-up you had on before if you have any on because you will cry... A LOT. It was haunting and stayed with well into the next day, but is a definite must.
