The film was a breakout hit at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival, winning the Grand Jury Prize and the U.S. Dramatic Audience Award. It follows an awkward high schooler named Greg (Thomas Mann) who befriends Rachel (Olivia Cooke), a girl in his class who was diagnosed with leukemia. In the trailer, we see Greg’s parents coaxing him into talking to Rachel after news of her diagnosis gets out. What starts as a forced encounter soon blossoms into a friendship.
