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.
The movie doesn't seem to be playing near you.

[Richardson] surely realises, as Fault's Shailene Woodley did before her, that this is the kind of marshmallow martyrdom that has to be briskly worked through before they let you at the grownup scripts. Mar 22, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

It's the best tear-jerker in a long time; one box of tissues might not be enough. On a deeper level, it earns some of that emotion through a story based on a real dilemma. Mar 19, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

While mawkishness should not be a prerequisite for the sick-teens-in-love genre, the popularity of the two in concert has likely convinced many filmmakers that the opposite is true. Mar 16, 2019 | Full Review…

Due credit... should be given to Sprouse and particularly Richardson for selling all of these reheated tropes to their full potential. Mar 15, 2019 | Full Review…

The problem with Five Feet Apart is that it chooses to focus on the weakest narrative - a dull, sappy romance that is heavy on melodrama and light on realism. Apr 9, 2019 | Rating: B- | Full Review…

Sure, it's sappy and maybe the storyline is overplayed, but this film hits you in that squishy place where your emotions live. Apr 8, 2019 | Full Review…

It may not be as successful (or good) as The Fault in Our Stars, but this still delivers a decent movie through all of the convention and its formulaic narrative. Apr 6, 2019 | Rating: 7/10 | Full Review…
