For literary critics, reviewing John Green’s The Fault In Our Stars without using the words “heartbreaking,”; “sad,”; or “depressing”; was an all-but-impossible task—roughly analogous to writing a 1000-page-long novel without ever using the letter “e.”; Based on the trailer below, it looks like the movie adaptation will be equally heartbreaking.
The film stars Shailene Woodley (Divergent) as a teenage cancer patient who joins a support group and falls in love with another teenage cancer patient (Woodley’s Divergent co-star Ansel Elgort) who is under the mistaken impression that his tumour is in remission. Depressed yet? If you’re not, you will be when you hit the “play”; button.
The Fault In Our Stars hits theatres June 6.
