Drama. Comedy Greg is coasting through senior year of high school as anonymously as possible, avoiding social interactions like the plague while secretly making spirited, bizarre films with Earl, his only friend. But both his anonymity and friendship threaten to unravel when his mother forces him to befriend a classmate with leukemia.

	Media	Author	Review
		Kyle Smith New York Post	"The sharpness of the dialogue and the performances of Mann and Cooke not only make it all work, they make it all sublime."
		A. O. Scott The New York Times	"The film is touching and small, but also thoughtful and assured in a way that lingers after the inevitable tears have been shed and the obvious lessons learned."
		Rodrigo Perez IndieWire	"The wonderfully funny, bittersweet, and inventive picture will headlock even the most cynical-hearted viewer and turn him or her into emotional mush."
		Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Mann, Cooke and Cyler deserve to be stars of tomorrow, right now. (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"
		Peter Debruge Variety	"There’s nothing jaded about his approach here, which balances the new-toy giddiness of a first-timer (this is actually his second feature) with the wisdom of restraint in key areas."
		Ed Gibbs The Guardian	"High-school students have plenty of growing pains to offload, and Gomez-Rejon clearly knows what makes them tick. His film is at once buzzy, fun and confronting. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"
		John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"A smart-ass charmer, merciless tearjerker and unironic celebration of teenage creativity."
