Me and Earl and the Dying is a funny, charming, sweet yet sometimes sad little indie film that's sure to be well received despite its faults.
We got to hang out with the leads of Me and Earl and the Dying Girl. Thomas Mann, RJ Cyler and Olivia Cooke are three young passionate actors with a lot to say about their indie hit.
We sat down with Me and Earl and the Dying Girl's director Alfonso Gomez-Rejon to talk about adapting this novel to the screen, the delicate balance the film strikes between tragedy and comedy, and how to avoid cliches while telling a high school coming-of-age story.
