Trivia
Tituss Burgess said that the part he plays was originally written for a woman, and he felt very honored when the director called him and asked if he would play the part.

Goofs
There is a joke in the movie that Skye and Calvin "get arrested". Calvin asks Skye why he has to participate as well, and Skye holds up the paper to show him that it is in fact on the list. The audience sees that "Get arrested with Calvin" is written, with the last two words written in a different color, revealing that Skye only recently added them. You can tell the movie was filmed out of order because when Skye and Calvin meet at the beginning of the film, Skye takes out the To Die List and you can clearly see that "with Calvin" has already been written and covered with Wite-Out because that scene hasn't taken place yet.

Quotes
Skye: You know, I actually liked you! I mean, sure, you're hung up, and weird, and if I had a single other friend in the entire world, I'd probably have nothing to do with you! but, as messed up as that is, I liked you. I thought you liked me too.
Calvin: Skye, I do- I do! I wanna be your friend!
Skye: Why?
Calvin: Because... You terrify me! and... you excite me. And when you're not around... I miss you.
Skye: You really miss me?
Calvin: Yes, I do.
Skye: Ok, but how much? Like, on a scale from one to ten, where one means that you...
Calvin: Oh, my God. Skye! Shut up!
Skye: You're not gonna try and kiss me now, are you?

Death has never been as blunt and honest

The first half of the movie, I previously thought, was superficial. Skye and Calvin had so much dynamics together yet it could have been executed in a way that viewers could find it more profound. While Maisie Williams had an amazing performance, Asa Butterfield's acting fluctuates throughout the movie.

However, the second half shows why it deserves a 10 stars for me. In theatre, this type of illness-death story has been told plenty of times, creating a good number of conventions and cliche for the genre. This movie gives you something completely different. It depicts a beautiful and wonderful platonic friendship that people have rarely seen even though we desperately need one (despite the fact that deep down inside, we still ship them because of the chemistry they had together). In addition, it deals with cancer and death in the most brutal yet very blunt and honest way, which hits you really hard at your emotion.

I love the direction it chose to take. It's cute and vibrant and filled with energy, even till the last minute of the movie, despite how tough the problem they were dealing with.

Personally, as a person around their age who is also working on figuring out myself, I relate to them considerably and feel inspired significantly by this movie. It's an important one. One that I would love to recommend to everyone.
