Its Sundance buzz wears off well before the end credits roll.

Me and Earl and The Dying Girl is a film that shows that behind the director, there is a new voice with a lot of talent. [Full Review in Spanish]

There is whimsy, but also a grounded realism in the idea that life is a journey and not always a smooth one.

Rachel's dying isn't really about Rachel at all. It's about Greg. In fact, everything that happens in the film is about Greg.

This delicate movie elevates itself from the usual run-of-the-mill schooldays saga with a script that is one part funny, one part tragic and all parts thoroughly human.

Poignant without being melodramatic, overflowing with unforced charm, Me and Earl and the Dying Girl holds a unique appeal that's certain to last.

Although a touch too hip at times, and twee at others, Me and Earl is a sharply observed teenage drama and a real delight.

There's plenty to like here, but the movie focuses on the least interesting person on the screen, a curious choice considering we're talking life and death.

The filmmaking from Alfonso Gomez-Rejon is hyper-stylized and a bit wonky at times, with a few odd security camera angles thrown into the mix. But it's also energetic and mostly fun to watch, especially the glimpses of their "awful" movies.

The biggest flaw in Me and Earl and the Dying Girl is right there in the title: the first word, specifically.

Somewhere along the way Earl eases up on the suburban-Wes Anderson whimsy and starts to find its heart, infusing the story's self-conscious cleverness and trick-shot set pieces with something sweeter, sadder, and even a little bit profound.

I found myself relishing the skill of the cast and laughing at the sharply turned dialogue while wincing at the self-consciousness of the storytelling and the self-congratulatory pop-culture references.
