If I Stay-A Film Review||❤

on   in ,   with 8 comments
If I Stay
Rating; 4.8/5 stars
Usually I complain a lot when books are adapted to films because they usually miss out key information which should be involved in the film but I do understand that not every wish can be come true.

This film lived up to my expectations surprisingly. I watched this film shortly after the book when the heavy heart-felt emotions toward the book were still present and I couldn't help but bawl my eyes out by the end of the film. I literally couldn't stop! I cried at Mia's and Adam's relationship, when her Grandfather was talking to her and I cried when the film ended because I wanted more. I loved how it was adapted and it was just as I had imagined.

The actors were brilliant. I loved Chloe Grace Mortez' portrayal of the Mia as a character. I heard that she actually took months of Cello lessons just so she could connect with her character and I think it worked because her performance was breathtaking! Jamie Blackley, *swoon*. He was just so amazing as Adam and I just wanted to have him. I couldn't help but stare at his beautiful face I mean who could have played Adam better? I know that some people didn't really like him but I really did feel like Chloe and Jamie had a great connection on screen/off screen which meant that it didn't feel as awkward as other films.

I do think that the film went a bit slow for me and it did drag on for a bit. That wasn't really that much of an issue but things could have been a bit quicker. On the bright side, I do hope that the second book will be made into a movie because that would complete my life!

In Summary:

Keep Reading,
Naomi...xxx

    I didn't really like the book, but the movie was slightly better :) It portrayed the music better, obviously, and I also think that having read the book I could feel more connected to the movie.
    My favorite scene was the one with the "roof-painting" :D Sadly, that wasn't even in the book... Still awesome though :)

    I adored both the book and the film - I blubbered like a whale with both. I personally preferred the book over the film; simply because I agree with your idea that films tend to miss out key information and really, interpretation of individual character's is one of the best bits about reading.

    Chloe is one of my favourite actresses so I am not surprised that she did such a brilliant job with this film as well! I haven't read the book yet, but the moment I do I am going to see this movie. As soon as I can ^.^
