Now Is Good plot
"Live every moment, love every minute"
Tessa is a seventeen-year-old lively girl. When she is diagnosed with a terminal illness, she decides to put together a wish list of everything the average teenager should do, including lose her virginity and use drugs. With the help of a friend, she begins to work through the list. While her parents and brother live in fear of losing Tessa, she herself discovers a whole new life in which she is determined to enjoy every day as intensely as possible. Falling in love with Adam, her new neighbor, wasn't on the list, but turns out to be the biggest challenge in the end.

A leukemia patient causes a lot of tragedy. She finds a friend and fully concentrates on him in the last days she has left. The play of the two is excellent and you can safely get your handkerchief soaking wet here. I myself do not allow emotions to guide my assessment so easily and I do not find this drama functioning enough. It lives too much on having to say goodbye and the heavily loaded feeling of Tessa and all bystanders surrounding the inevitable death. The 'list' could have been a bit more. For example, a ill-considered theft in the supermarket and a mediocre mushroom trip in the woods (she seemed barely under the influence) were discussed. The nosebleeds lasted way too long and I also found that little brother with his juggling annoying.
Yes, the park bench on the remote cliff, the climbing in a high tree and the running horses in slow motion make for nice pictures, but I don't attach much importance to that in this case because secretly these are desperate pillars.
