Kiss and Cry is a 2017 Canadian biopic directed by Sean Cisterna. The film depicts the life of Carley Allison who suffered from a rare form of cancer. It was filmed at various real locations, such as Carley’s house and bedroom, skating rink, classrooms and hospitals in Toronto.[1]
The film stars Carley’s real-life friend Sarah Fisher. Throughout the film, Fisher breaks the fourth wall, using the very words from the real Allison’s blog posts and You Tube performances. The letter Carley writes and addresses to “cancer” is also partly her actual words.
It was released on February 10, 2017 and has been rated as a 6.8 out of 10.[2][3]
