Adrift

There is something we would admit, about Shailene Woodley and sadness. whether it’s her ‘tired of life’ demeanor, we just cannot say but she knows how to carry it very well. Adrift, also starring Sam Claffin is about a boat trip turned nightmare when their sail gets capsized. With a physically decapitated partner due to injuries sustained from the boat accident, Tami who is played by Shailene Woodley must face the grit and dank sails of the waters. Falling helpless to the stormy waves, Adrift is a really emotional and powerful movie showcasing a firm resolve of a human to fight till the end no matter what it takes, spending days on the water, unsure of being rescued but nonetheless refusing to give up.

Five Feet Apart

We found love in an ICU, No offense Rihanna. When two sick teens with a bout of cystic fibrosis meets in a hospital the story of Stella and Will is one tinged with budding teen puppy love (which was made very obvious at the ending) and a prerogative by one of them with a more philosophical purview that life is worth living and the other not so sees meaning in anything. Apart from the medical dreariness of things, all doctors and needles making you sad sick already the story is one like no other of two seemingly doomed souls trying to take it one day at a time and find the greater meaning in their circumstances.

The Way Back

The best way to pull a man out of despair is to give him something to believe in and this opportunity presented itself to Jack Cunningham, played by Ben Affleck in this emotional roller coaster. Fighting the darkness of losing his son, a failed marriage and an unprecedented turn to alcoholism, he gets a call one day to become the head coach of his former high school’s basketball team where back then he was once a renowned legend. He must find a way to pull through the rubbles of the mess of himself and give his team what, maybe he couldn’t himself. Still, it’s more of a mirror effect. The Way Back is one to surely make you cry.

Blackbird

Blackbird is sort of that movie with a teary after taste that hits you when the credits starts to roll. A mother, with a life threatening ailment decides to subject to euthanasia and calls in her fractioned yet deeply loving family to spend her last days with her. Through the course of the movie family and untouched aspects of lives are reopened and laid bare and at some point the whole thing becomes a hell of a painful mess. Yet, Blackbird is a great movie for the feels which should definitely deliver.

The Fault in Our Stars

A little similar to Five Feet Apart and starring Shailene Woodley, A pair of cancer stricken teenagers meet and fall in love at a church group. The story is dense, with touches of flaired anguish and sorrowfulness and yet light and hearty. This is one movie to spring up the waterworks.
