“Me and Earl and the Dying Girl” è il film vincitore del Sundance Film Festival 2015, non solo per la giuria ma anche per il pubblico.
Il film di Alfonso Gomez-Rejon, infatti, conquista, esattamente come “Whiplash” l’anno scorso, sia il Gran Premio delle Giuria, che il Premio del Pubblico.
Il film è uno di quelli che fa ridere e commuovere nello stesso tempo, e chissà che non riesca a raggiungere presto i risultati di “Whiplash”, candidato all’Oscar.
Fra i film che hanno ricevuto maggiore “buzz” rientrano sicuramente “Dope,” “The Witch” e “The Diary of a Teenage Girl”, tutti e tre questi film hanno ricevuto dei premi.
