blrnani George is clearly a very intelligent young man with an artistic gift, but he is merely 'getting by' because he is so disillusioned with the world he sees around him that he just doesn't see the point in following the traditional study - work - family track laid out for him. Let's face it, he's not alone in that - I think a lot of people would find this film interesting on a personal level (and not only teenagers!). It is to George's credit that his principle and teachers are rooting for him, given his absence of effort coupled with a level of honesty that sometimes crosses the respectful boundary, basically because he is fortunate that they recognise his basic goodness and innocence. They do have their professional obligations, however, which leads to George being given an ultimatum if he intends to graduate. Those same interesting qualities are presumably the reason he hasn't been marginalised by the other students, but is the one who chooses to stay apart - this is clearly a rather special school! There is one person he has noticed though, and when she corresponds a relationship develops. And as with any couple who are afraid to make a commitment without being sure their romantic feelings are reciprocated - exacerbated by George's lack of skill in dealing with human relationships; he's probably borderline autistic - confusion about where their relationship is headed leads to complications. I won't spoil the journey by giving away any more though - it's a film worth seeing for yourselves.
threestarandsevenlip This movie what should I tell about it , " This Movie is Just Great & Amazing " and this is my opinion after watching it . Before going into this movie I did not expect that it would be so amazing , entertaining, moving and heart touching .This movie relaxed Me. Since beginning till end you will not find it boring even for a second. This is among those movies which have "Feel Element " " Love Element" in them . When you will watch it you will feel it .I will not reveal anything about the plot and story of this movie which I always do whenever I write a review for a movie so that you can enjoy it to the fullest. I rarely write review for movies because I think that I am not so good in reviewing movies but This Movie forced me to do it because It is and was such a Nice, Great & Amazing Movie . Just Go & watch it to Enjoy & to Feel it . For me this movie is worth 10 Stars out of 10 ********** .
JÄnis Locis A very simple movie about a teenage boy, who doesn't really know what he wants to do in life, he is rebellious against the school system and completely ignores all the assignments.This movie doesn't really cause any emotions or anything, because of its simplicity and George being a very casual character, he is literally just a random boy, who has no interests. The movie doesn't have any memorable scenes, that's why it is not really popular amongst teenagers.Just a casual love story, where everything turns out to be wonderful for the main characters, very blatant, don't watch it if you have just watched a very complex movie. Good to watch after a hard day of work just to chill out and eat some snacks, nothing too special.
Nawazish Hassan So the movie is awesome, Cast,Acting,Story,Music,Script everything just flawless,Freddie & Emma are just amazing, Emma probably gave her best, So the movie gets your attention right when it starts and keep your attention till last scene, There are ups & downs, When I saw Freddie in Finding Neverland, I knew this child is not ordinary, He proved it in this movie,Emma Roberts is not only pretty, She is intelligent, Great actress,Last 30 minutes are amazing, So is the whole movie, You will never regret watching this.
