Now Is Good


Tonight I have been to see Now Is Good.

Moving drama about a young woman determined to live life to the full after being diagnosed with a terminal illness.

Tessa Scott (Dakota Fanning) carries a burden that no 17-year-old old should have to endure. She knows her time is short. Having taken the decision to give up treatment for the illness that will claim her life, Tessa decides to spend her remaining days doing everything a normal teenager could hope to experience. With best pal Zoey (Kaya Scodelario), she draws up her own 'bucket list'. This proves especially difficult for dad (Paddy Considine) and mum (Olivia Williams) as it includes such risky behaviour as taking drugs and losing her virginity. But until she meets new neighbour Adam (Jeremy Irvine), Tessa doesn't expect to experience the exhilarating intensity of love. Adapted from Jenny Downham's bestseller, British director Ol Parker's uplifting drama is a dizzying, romantic and profoundly emotional celebration of life.
