Films about people with terminal illnesses never sound like they’re going to be much fun, but they can be very rewarding. The latest movie bidding to move us is Now Is Good, which stars Dakota Fanning alongside a strong British cast, including Jeremy Irvine, Paddy Considine and Olivia Williams. Here’s the synopsis: ‘Tessa is seventeen and passionate about life. Diagnosed with a terminal illness, she determines to use every moment, compiling a catalogue of what a normal teenager would experience, including losing her virginity and taking drugs. With the help of her friend Zoey, she sets the list in motion. While her family deals with fear and grief, each in their own way, Tessa explores a whole new world. Falling in love with Adam, her new neighbour, wasn’t on the list, but it proves to be the most exhilarating experience of them all. Now Is Good will hit cinemas on May 25th.’ Take a look at the trailer, while the poster is below (and I have to say, look at that, I’ve never wanted to be Dakota Fanning as much in my life).
