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.

- I loved this film, until it got to the end! I felt like I needed to see a little bit more of what happened after her passing? It felt like the ending was rushed and not really thought about. But otherwise the film was full of all the emotional rollercoaster scenes you needed for this type of genre! Would definitely recommendReply
- Fanning was fantastic, so believable. It's a very real take on the whole terminal cancer subject.Reply
- Loved this movie. Definitely have tissues on-hand when you watch it, though. If you liked The Fault In Our Stars, you'll like this one too.Reply
- Our life is a series of moments. Let them all go. Moments. All gathering towards this one.Reply

- Amazing movie. Great acting and engrossing story. I love that movie, despite the sad ending.Reply

- Rather than 2014's The Fault In Our Stars' charming approach to romance between two terminally ill youngsters, Now Is Good contrasts that in favor of drama and cynicism. And although there's romance in there, it's only a counterpart to the film's much, much more serious tone. Dakota Fanning gives one hell of a performance--and does an excellent British accent--and even when her character appears to be unlikable, you develop an attachment to her nonetheless because of how realistically portrayed she is. Even when it's ending is forcefully jerking the tears from your eyes, it's an overall earnest feeling of grief. It's not an excellent excerpt in analyzing terminal illness more than it is another tearjerking teen drama, but it's an overall accomplishment in entertaining at least a fair majority of its audience.Reply
- Watching a cancer-love-meaning-of-life movie after midnight WOULD result in uncontrollable sobs at 2AM. I didn't think this one through.Reply
- the fact that Fanning is not winning every award ever puzzles me. legit best current actress at her age.Reply
- Well acted, believable performances by the cast. I don't get the negative reviews by the critics. They can give the notebook 67% and only give this one 58. It's definitely an emotional story about a 17 year old with Leukemia, but it seems honest and gives a respectful treatment of the subject. I saw nothing cliche about it and would watch it again.Reply
