The Fault in Our Stars

Directed by Josh Boone2h 6m2014

But when a patient named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel's story is about to be completely rewritten.

Our read: The Fault in Our Stars (2014) reads as a heavy, steady, grounded drama · romance entry — measured in intensity, mid-stakes in scope, measured in temperature, nihilistic in outlook.
