Paper Towns (2015)
Directed by Jake
Schreier this film based on the novel of the same name stars Nat
Wolff, Cara Delevingne, Halston Sage and Justice Smith. An 18 year
old boy pinning for the girl that lives next door goes on a night of
adventure with her.
Departing marginally
from the novel on which it is based this is still a fairly decent
deconstruction of the “Manic Pixie Dream Girl” stereotype. While
the film does not work as well as the novel and does at times rams
the message down your throat it is still a good watch. The
performances are good and the direction shows flashes but at times
this film struggles to be more than a coming of age film.
3/5
