This low-budget Australian gem takes the recent soppy terminally-ill-girl-gets-together-with-unsuitable-boy YA sub-genre and gives it a wonderful grounded and engaging shake-up. By turns funny, heartbreaking and heartwarming, it skewers character tropes wonderfully and is buoyed by very strong performances all round, especially Eliza Scanlen and Toby Wallace as the mis-matched young couple. With sharp observations and by keeping things relatively realistic, the conclusion might be inevitable but the characters and their journey are well worth watching.
