50/50

I saw this at the London film festival, with Wizzy. It is the story of a 20 something guy, played by the excellent Joseph Gordon-Levitt who has cancer. Other strong characters are his best friend, played by Seth Rogen, and his inexperienced but enthusiastic counsellor, played by Anna Kendrick. I just really liked the delicate mix of emotions, including a liberal dollop of humour, but also some very moving scenes. Angelica Huston plays the main character's mother, in an inimitable way - I have always enjoyed seeing her, after watching her in the Royal Tenenbaums.
