Audience Reviews

Andres Gomez 8/10 Feb 29, 2016
Really complex and sweet movie with a great story, script and performances from Lerman, Watson and Miller.

Also, great directing and cut. A really good movie for a rainy day.

This movie & book honest to god changed my life. I also feel that they supplement each other well. The movie includes details not included in the book and vice versa. Read the book and then watch the movie, its a spiritual experience.
