Hey hey, a poster on Alicia Vikander's thread noticed in Jill Dobson's comments that Dave Karger said he loved TLBO. he is a movie expert that has worked for Entertainment Weekly and you see him a lot on Today Show, Turner Classic Movie channel and he is the one who made the video interviews for the SAG-Aftra Foundation 2016 (he interviewed Steve Jobs' cast -Michael and Kate- and TDG's cast etc etc etc).

I think it was okay and remarkable to point out.

Why are there so many free screenings of TLBO before its release? I dont think I have ever seen that with another movie in this genre before or I was not paying attention. I think everyone who wanted to see this movie has seen it during the free screenings and now it isnt going to make any money in wide release. Not good for Michael's BO average.

He's the one who does the DP/30 interviews and he loved it.
Unfortunately I didn't like The Fault In Our Stars and I don't find any similarities with TLBO, but I'm super glad he liked it. He's pretty reliable too.

Thanks for the reviews Carmen! Overall people who've seen it seem very impressed. There are so many people excited to see it on release too - the TLBO FB page is full of such comments [emoji2]

Well there haven't been screenings in Europe yet.. And most of all, if you take a look, on Facebook is FULL of people commenting they want to see it, there are loads of excited comments of people who can't wait to see it.
Btw I asked around cos I was curious about this screenings thing and people told me it's completely normal, I mean it happens very often. It won't affect the box office, the screenings are few compared to all the people who want to see the movie. + no screenings in Europe / Asia yet.

Screenings are not that relevant to affect a movie's box office. If they affected it they wouldn't be so many.
It's a good thing to see people's reactions, to have the first predictions/reviews and to stimulate curiosity. They may/should/could help the movie, tbh.
It's normal. It's part of a movie's promotion, it's a way to promote it, not to make it fail! ;)

I saw!!! Every time I search for reviews on Facebook/Twitter I find it super difficult to find them cos it's FULL of people sharing the trailer and tagging friends etc. And tbh I wasn't expecting all this excitement, I'm very glad. God only knows how much I loved that story and I will love that movie.

Yeah I agree. Think this Disney dude might have had a little experience in this film distribution thing ;)

Reviews like this make me think TLBO will do better both commercially and critically than I originally thought. It's a reasoned review that praises the film and the performances while not being OTT fangirl-ish.

Thank you for posting all these reviews and contributing news to the thread. Life's been kicking my butt lately so I don't have time to find all this stuff myself. So I really appreciate just being able to come here and read everything you've found and posted for us. :hugs:

I'm very glad you appreciate it! It's a pleasure for me, finding stuff about this movie. You know how much this book meant to me and it feels like I've been waiting for TLBO for AGES. I'm so so glad there are the first "important" opinions, the two guys I posted here are experts and seeing their positive comments means something more than people's reactions in terms of art.
You're always very sweet. And yes, I wasn't expecting all these goodies!
