Dakota Fanning plays Tessa, a young girl dying of cancer who decides to compile a bucket list.
Unashamed of what this essentially is, a weepie, this film doesn't feel the need to overdo it. It's a line easily crossed by this type of film but it's all kept in check as every character behaves in a believable way (as in far from flawless) from our lead to her parents (Olivia Williams & Paddy Considine (who again in a film, steals everything) a love interest (Jeremy Irvine) and BFF (Kaya Scodelario).
Fanning seemed odd casting but I was quickly over it.

You know when you watch and good film and you haven't got up for a drink, snack or the toilet break. Now is Good simple carries you through the last days of a girls life. It was simple humbling.
Both lead actors came across well and it only had a few moments of a teen movie feel, but it soon pulled away from it. I have to say i haven't cried so much at any film ever.

I was not expecting that great of a film, just because the storyline seemed like it was asking for tears from the get-go, but I ended up being very surprised at how much I liked this. Instead of being depressing, it chose instead to be poignant, and oftentimes, beautiful.
Dakota Fanning, who I realized I have not seen on film since 2010's great The Runaways, delivered a flawless performance as a young woman quickly dying of leukemia. Out of the rest of the cast, Olivia Williams was great as her distant mother, and whoever played her father was great, too.
I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a quiet, honest film. (The soundtrack was great, too.)

This goes to my "list" of the most beautiful movies I've seen so far. Although it's a bit cliche, but I've actualy like it very much and I recommend it. ps: prepare a bunch of tissues near you... :b

Dakota Fanning plays Renee Zellweger plays a British girl dying from cancer, and it's a drag. (The film, not cancer, which is obviously a drag as well.) Fanning is a bit better than Fanning's accent, but the best element here is the always fantastic Paddy Considine. When he breaks, I break.
I don't recall the lead character in 50/50 being this much of a bitch though.

LMFAO to the part where he kissed her and her wig came off.
And don't have casual sex, remember to always try as hard as you can!
And when you're running away try to get up the escalator that's going down.
"You can't save me," duh.
I needed a break after 1h 16 mins because I started feeling hopelessly emotional.

Esto debería llamarse "No es otra película sobre el cáncer" porque en realidad va mucho más allá de eso, te toca la fibra y así seas la persona más exitosa del mundo te hace preguntarte ¿Que estás haciendo con tu vida? La actuación de Dakota Fanning la hace conmovedora además del sufrimiento de las familias que se ven afectadas por esta enfermedad desde todo punto de vista tenemos al optimista, al exageradamente preocupado y a la que no sabe cómo manejarlo.
Cuenta con un buen guion y personalmente es muy inspiradora pero desde el punto de vista lógico creo que la parte romántica de la película aunque necesaria le quita el dinamismo al tema principal.

Sure, stāsts nav gluži kaut kas jauns un filma ir paredzama, tomēr tā ir pasniegta ļoti smuki. Dialogi sakarīgi un vietām ir smieklīgi, turklāt ir arī uz ko acis pamielot. Kopumā tieši tas, kas mums, meitenēm, reizēm vajadzīgs.

A dramatic romance which don´t brings many new features but found in Dakota Fanning a great performance.

“Moments. Our life is a series of moments. Each one a journey to the end. Let them go… let them all go.”
Cuando uno ve una película sobre alguien que padece cáncer y este se encuentra en fase terminal, generalmente sabe los clichés a los que se verá sometido durante la película. Pero con 'Now Is Good' es diferente, la película nos ahorra todo el drama “médico” por así decirlo y nos deja vivir los últimos meses como una persona cualquiera, pero retratados de una manera muy pesimista y anarquista. Tessa (Dakota Fanning) es una chica que ya no tiene reglas que seguir en una sociedad, ¿ya para qué?. Hay que hacer lo que queda pendiente, y curioso es que…

Nu dikti jau maipulatīvs gabals. Protams, ka pašā sākumā ir jāpasaka, ka meitene ir slima ar leikēmiju un mirst, lai visu filmu tu nobrēktos strīpains, neskatoties uz meitenes "dzīvosim uz pilnu klapi, sex-drugs-rocknroll" attieksmi. Krāsaini un dzīvelīgi kadri. Perfekta mūzikas, kadru un emociju kombinācija. Sirsnīgi. Un netici reklāmai - nu nav tam skuķim svarīgākais pirms nāves nokniebties.
