There is always something haunting about Rachel Cook, she always accepts a bad situation naturally, whether Ready Player One or Thoroughbreds or this. I think she really represents the plight of the millennials, very little opportunity butThere is always something haunting about Rachel Cook, she always accepts a bad situation naturally, whether Ready Player One or Thoroughbreds or this. I think she really represents the plight of the millennials, very little opportunity but not really aware that things were ever another way. I didn't especially care for those movies, they were ok, but that makes her place in them all the more fitting. I think Me Earl and the Dying Girl is my favorite with her, it was helped by amazing wonderful photography by Chung Hoon Chung, he does a lot of simple tricks and primary colors. A really good performance is one in which you can see yourself in the character irrespective of who they are or the circumstances. This girl loves so naturally, she does not know the mechanistic ways that people treat each other. She does not understand that people enslave each other by nature, and you feel sad for the loss of her innocence and the death of the person she naturally is. She is codependent, caring only for the happiness of others, and that means she will be destined to suffer until she learns to be selfish, losing the best part of herself. This is by far the best role Rachel Cook has done. I think it's interesting that she had no problems until she tried to be an individual and want something for herself. I think the world destroys who ever does not want to be a tool.… Expand

This film lives and dies with Olivia Cooke's performance and I'm glad to say it lives because Cooke gives one of the best performances I have ever seen on screen.

The raw emotion from scene to scene as her hope fades really makes you feel for her character. It was to the point where I was genuinely mad at the other characters in this film that wronged her. This movie isn't perfect, but it's worth it just for Olivia.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For some girls, this endless way of life, filled with pain and betrayal by all those she loves and all means of support failing despite her scrambling via demeaning ways to find solutions is a reality. If someone viewing this film has enough privilege, they will oversee this fact.

The movie did an excellent job of illustrating how meaningless and neverending it can feel to endure such a life with the flat presentation in which it unfolds. A girl with low self esteem, using a mask of child-like happiness to get past the heavy demands on her very existence very well could choose to hang onto hope and fantasize unrealistically that life can be much better. That it isn't as bad as it really is. Denial can be a strange foe and friend. She doesn't say goodbye the way she had hoped. But she is happy she finally gets to say goodbye.

An excellent film.… Expand
