“Hot on the heels of The Fault in Our Stars comes another teen romancer in which love is a matter of life and death.
“Adapted from Gayle Forman’s YA novel by Whip It screenwriter Shauna Cross, this stars Chloë Grace Moretz as comatose car-crash victim Mia, whose disembodied soul walks the corridors of the hospital in which her entire family are battling for survival.
“As Mia wrestles with cosmic questions, her relationship with Portland rocker Adam (Jamie Blackley) unfolds in flashback – the classical cellist and electric guitarist united by star-crossed love.
“It sounds mawkish as hell, but director RJ Cutler reads his target teen audience well, crediting them with more intelligence and resilience than one might expect.”
