A little friendship never killed anybody.

Greg Gaines is a senior at a high school in Pittsburgh who tries to fly under the radar. He avoids socializing with his classmates and refers to Earl, his best friend, as if he were just a coworker, because the two spend their free time making home movies that parody famous films. His routine is disrupted when he learns that Rachel, an old childhood friend and classmate, has just been diagnosed with leukemia. His parents pressure him to reach out to her during such a difficult time, something Greg is not at all eager to do. The first encounter between the two is awkward. Directed by Alfonso Gómez-Rejón, the film stars Thomas Mann.
