Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Bereamic Awesome Movie

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

ICanNeverThinkOfAGoodUsername The main character George will often say things that all us think at some point in our lives like 'why should I do this homework when I'm going to die anyway'...He will say stuff that you can relate to and whilst it seems like there is some deep interesting aspect to this film - there isn't. I genuinely gained nothing from watching this film. I thought it would get better and deliver... I was just bored throughout the film.I really would not recommend this film. It makes me you feel like it's going somewhere but it's really not...Spoilers ahead: 1. I don't get the ending. How did Sally change George's mindset? What did she do exactly?

Kristoffer Den Carabio Sexon it was perfect. everything was good. it was relate-able. it was real. that's what life is all about. and we are not supposed to get everything we want. George deserved better. it was perfect until the last minute of the movie. i knew i had to stop the movie right after he graduated. this is not a Disney movie and the writer just ruined the ending. it would have been best if everybody just moved on with their lives. I WAS DISAPPOINTED, big-time. to the writer, if you thought ending the movie with them getting together was good, nope, it actually ruined a supposedly great movie. i'm supposed to give it a 1- star but since i'm a fan of Freddie, i gave it another one. :)

magnuslhad George, a well-mannered teenage nihilist disinterested in high school, starts to think life might have some meaning after all when he meets beautiful, vivacious Sally. He's not quite her "speed", as Sally's Mum succinctly points out, but Sally is also on the lookout for something new and there is just enough mystery to George to intrigue her. This is a teenage romance, a coming-of-age that still manages to entertain those of us not in the 16-25 demographic. The bittersweet, acutely painful pangs of first love are authentically drawn, and the film manages to be subtle and complex, best displayed by the older artist mentor who becomes, reluctantly but inevitably, George's love rival. They sweeten the pot a bit too much in the last 10 minutes, but perhaps given the target audience that can't be helped. Freddie Highmore plays George with the correct dosages of bravado and vulnerability. Emma Roberts as Sally has has both the charm to make us hope George gets her, and the siren-call seduction to make us hope every good man stays away. Given the somewhat twee premise and the massive potential for a white plight tale, this film is a pleasant surprise, on the whole genuine and moving in its observations. Worth checking out.

lewisfindley3 This film is incredible. I loved it and will treasure it. What I loved the most was how it spoke to me. The acting was superb and the fact that they are of similar age to the characters makes it so real.The Film is about a teenager called George (played by Highmore) and how he thinks that we live alone, die alone and that life is just an illusion. He fears life itself because it gives him a strong awareness of his mortality making everything seem meaningless. At school his attitude to learning is poor and to his teachers he can do much more. He has this angle playing relationship with his principal, as he has been sent to him umpteen times, and he stresses to George how important his senior year is. He gives George a warning.home it is George, his Mother and step farther. He has a different relationship with both of them. With his Mother he really cares for her and wants what is best for her. With his step father it is the complete opposite and they don't see eye to eye much.George goes on the roof to contemplate and meets Sally (played by Roberts) who is smoking on there but is not supposed to and he covers for her. She waits for him after school and introduces herself to him and asks him why he never does his work. He tells her that he is a misanthrope not by choice just a fact. His attitude to life changes after he meets Sally because he starts seeing life differently and begins to introduce himself to the world by designing a poster for one of her friends' New Year's Eve party. Whilst skipping school with her, he sees his step father walking across the street when he should be working. The principal catches wind that George has this new circle of friends and blackmails him into attending the career day to be a helper, as he was caught smoking on the roof. He meets Dustin, who is also a painter. George gets inspired by his speech and shows him his book and they build a relationship and he invites George to his studio. George tells them that whenever he visualises a subject he feels that he is being something he is not and Dustin tells him to exercise the muscle or else it will never happen.He takes Sally with him and Dustin asks if they are together and George reiterates how they are friends and Dustin says he will leave it alone. On the way home Sally asks George if Dustin said anything about her and he lies.George, Sally and her friends party during New Year's Eve but George gets lost and winds up outside and passes out. Sally finds him and takes him home and puts him to bed, after he tells her that she is amazing. He wakes up to see her asleep. He goes back to sleep to wake up with the knowledge that she has seen something up that every boy knows too well. Sally's mum tells her, during the evening, that messing around with the affections of the good guys is not right and Sally rejects this notion of her relationship with George and insists that they are just friends.During Valentine's Day, Sally puts George in an environment that is severely uncomfortable and he inevitably takes it the wrong way and becomes convinced that their relationship is all a joke. They reach an impasse and don't speak to each other. George goes incommunicado and tortures himself with the same song and snaps at anyone that speaks to him. Sally finds Dustin and asks if he has seen George and then they start to get close.George's luck of not doing his school work catches up with him as he is summoned to the principal and he is given the choice of expulsion or completing everything assignment, paper and exercise that he has been set this year within 3 weeks. At first he chooses expulsion and is given time to think it over.The news is passed on to his home and a big argument happens resulting in his step father injuring himself as he wrestles with George, after he exposes him for not actually working when he is meant to and spends his days wandering the streets like a homeless person. George runs to Sally's and relentlessly knocks on her door. She opens the door and he kisses her. She kisses him back then stops him. She opens the door and he sees Dustin. He leaves the apartment and Dustin catches up with him.After an emotional scene a heart broken George leaves. He spends the next few days contemplating and meets his Mother in the park where she tells him that she is getting a divorce as he frequently lied to her and forced her to put herself financially at risk and now they have to sell their home. George agrees to do the mission impossible and is given a break when his Art teacher only asks for one assignment, which is to draw something meaningful and fearless. He finally speaks to Sally after school and he tells her his situation. She texts him to meet her and she tells him that she is going travelling with Dustin and she will be leaving tomorrow on graduation. He confesses his love for her and they share a kiss or two...George asks her to stay. Sally tells George she loves him too. George begins his mission impossible and his Art subject slowly takes formation. At the end of the film we finally see what it was! - Sally. She comes back after leaving Dustin at the airport, during final boarding call, and she still hasn't decided what she is doing. What she does know is that she will be going this unknown with George.
