Five Feet Apart

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Elevated considerably by Haley Lu Richardson's performance but bogged down by clichés, Five Feet Apart doesn't tug at the heartstrings quite as deftly as it should.

Five Feet Apart | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Clarisse Loughrey Independent (UK) There's a sincerity here that undoes many of its excesses, thanks largely to the grounded chemistry of its leads. Rated: 3/5 Dec 10, 2020 Full Review Five Feet Apart | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Christy Lemire FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) There's a million books like this and a million movies like this, where people are beautiful -- but they're sick! Sep 23, 2019 Full Review Five Feet Apart | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Stephen Romei The Australian The plot is believable - right up to the heart-in-the-mouth turns near the end - and the dialogue sounds real. That is a good start in any movie, but in this case it powers on from there because of the A-grade performances of the two young leads. Rated: 4/5 Apr 5, 2019 Full Review Five Feet Apart | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies But that ending. It doesn’t quite kill the good that comes before it, but it comes mighty close. Rated: 3/5 Aug 20, 2022 Full Review Five Feet Apart | Rotten Tomatoes (5) M.N. Miller Ready Steady Cut Five Feet Apart suffers from the same clichés as most of the decade’s YA romantic dramas while having to stomach the manipulation of trivializing an illness that can be terminal. Rated: 2.5/5 Aug 18, 2022 Full Review Five Feet Apart | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Mimi Wong Mediaversity Reviews Five Feet Apart uses illness as a plot device to heighten emotions rather than simply allowing compelling characters to tell their own stories.

olivia r This movie actually made me cry which really shocked me since I never really cry at movies. The fact that I got so attached to these characters in The Almost 2 hours that it ran was really amazing. Will and Stella had awesome chemistry also. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/19/24 Full Review Дарья Р The film "a meter apart"Film genre: drama , romance. The film has only one part .The film -maker was Justin Baldoni. Filmed in New Orleans (USA). The plot of the film is such that two young people diagnosed with fibrosis could not approach each other closer than 1.5 meters, and at the same time they were in love with each other. The storyline is interesting and cruel at the same time, the illness of the characters decided the fate of their love, the love was so strong that they wanted to break the prohibitions, from which we observe a sad ending that causes strong emotions (tears). In general, the characters of this film played their roles amazingly. Actors convey their emotions fully and vividly, and evoke our emotions just as well. There are no special special effects in this movie. Here, all the attention is taken by the characters, the scenery of the hospital, roofs and others, as well as the stage of Will and Stella. I liked the movie, I have to admit that I think this movie is very moving I think the film is suitable for girls who would like to watch an exciting movie and cry from such a moving script of events. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/22/24 Full Review Romina G Today I want to tell you about a movie called "A Dos Metros de ti". It is a very exciting movie that has romance and comedy and it is my favorite movie.The story takes place in a very beautiful city where Stella, a very brave girl, lives. Stella has a rare disease that means she has to stay two meters away from people. But one day, he meets a boy named Will who has the same condition. Together, they try to live life to the fullest while fighting their illnesses.The main characters are Stella and Will. Stella is very brave and fun, I love her energy! Will is very sweet and always tries to make Stella laugh. My favorite character is Stella because she is very strong and never gives up.The movie made me feel many emotions. I laughed a lot at Stella and Will's antics, but I also cried a little at some sad parts. But in the end, I felt very happy because I learned that no matter how difficult life is, you can always find happiness if you are with the people you love.I would definitely recommend this movie to my friends. It is a beautiful story about love, friendship and bravery. It makes you laugh, cry and feel inspired. You can not miss it! Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/04/24 Full Review Alw12 I don't care what anyone else says about the negative aspects of this movie. I don't care that everyone else seems to think this movie apparently sucks or is supposedly is trash or has too many cliches. I genuinely don't care. I'm not gonna let those dumb critics hold down this beautifully made movie. So forget the negative aspects of this movie for just even a moment, and look at it as a whole. Think about how the producers used their illness to provide a difficulty in their love, but they were finding ways around it. This movie is underrated just because people can't understand that sometimes, cliches are good, and sometimes, in order to move forward, you have to be willing to accept the hardships that come with loving a person. And this movie demonstrated those problems in a way that I've seen no other do. So forgive me for having an out spoken opinion in this movie to all those who wanna give this movie a bad rating, but y'all wouldn't know a good movie even if it slapped you in the face. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/12/23 Full Review Kalani Smith Don't even get me started. sobbed. don't watch without a crying buddy Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/20/23 Full Review Rob A I have to be completely honest, anyone who has a limited understanding or has not not been affected by cystic fybrosis will not understand this. I myself, knew a couple where the lovely guy had it and it was impossible for them to conceive without passing it on and the limitations are very real. You might think it's cheesy or trivialised it's not Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews

Synopsis Seventeen-year-old Stella spends most of her time in the hospital as a cystic fibrosis patient. Her life is full of routines, boundaries and self-control -- all of which get put to the test when she meets Will, an impossibly charming teen who has the same illness. There's an instant flirtation, though restrictions dictate that they must maintain a safe distance between them. As their connection intensifies, so does the temptation to throw the rules out the window and embrace that attraction.
