Now is Good-DVD
Review
Filmed on location in Burnham Beaches in Buckinghamshire and
starring an all star English cast including Dakota Fanning (The Twilight Saga,
Charlotte`s Webb), Jeremy Irvine (War Horse, Great Expectations), Olivia Williams
(An Education, Peter Pan), Rose Leslie (Downton Abbey, Games of Thrones) and
Paddy Considine (Hot Fuzz, Cinderella Man), `Now is Good` tells the story of
Tessa (Dakota Fanning) a seventeen year old girl diagnosed with leukaemia.
Now, I know what you’re thinking this is another one of
those girly chick flick predictable tearjerkers where it’s obvious that the main
character is going to die. Yes, even though that’s true, it is approached in a
completely different way.
How? I hear you asking. Well, instead of the film being
centered around the concept of cancer, even though that still plays a huge
part, the film mainly focuses on Tessa’s journey in fulfilling her life to the
full.
We, as an audience follow her in her adventure as she
crosses the things she wants to do before she passes off her bucket list. Things
such as loosing her virginity, shoplifting and taking drugs. She is helped
along the way with her best friend Zoey (Kaya Scodelario) and her neighbour,
Adam (Jeremy Irvine) whom she falls in love.
Dakota Fanning gives an exceptional performance as Tessa and
it was nice to see Jeremy Irvine and Rose Leslie in different roles compare to
those in War Horse and Downton Abbey.
A heartfelt film about falling in love and living your life
to the full.
