Me and Earl and the Dying Girl

Film Review: Me and Earl and the Dying Girl

I have mixed opinions on this film. It is different to the average cheesy blockbuster because in this, the girl dose not survive and then hook up with the boy. He even lies to the veiwer reassuring and explainging that the girl does not die at the end.

There are alot of interesting camera techniques used in this film. Firstly i notied quite a few shots that were held for a long period of time for example a close up of the boy and the girls face as they sit beside her bed. In this scene the same shot is held for about 2 minutes as they have a conversation. there is a lot of silence in this scene as well which you dont normally see in films. another framming technique that i noticed was that in most scenes when the boy and the girl are in the same room there is a lot of dead space. Maybe this is suggesting that the film is not aminig to show them being romanticly involved but more focusing on there freindship.
