'Now Is Good' tugs the heartstrings

Based on the book 'Before I Die' by Jenny Downham, 'Now Is Good' is a touching drama about two teenagers united in the shadow of terminal illness, written and directed for the screen by Ol Parker.

The script is laced with dry humour and lead actress Dakota Fanning sports a credible English accent as the plucky heroine who vows to do “as much as I can, as fast as I can” before she loses her battle with leukaemia.
