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.

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.

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 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 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 Calum Cooper Source (Scotland) There’s some quality production design, and the occasional amiable scene. But as a whole, the movie is dull and saccharine, despite the efforts of its magnetic lead actors. Rated: 2/5 Jul 14, 2024 Full Review 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 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 Read all reviews

Willian F "Five Feet Apart" (A Cinco Passos de Você), is a romantic drama that, although it uses some clichés, manages to charm with its sensitive premise and the strong chemistry between the leads, Cole Sprouse and Haley Lu Richardson. The film portrays the relationship between two young people with cystic fibrosis, offering an approach to the disease without descending into excessive melodrama. Despite some predictable moments, the film carries a sincerity, especially when it focuses on the emotions and challenges the characters face. The plot could have been deeper, but the connection between the two leads and the way the film addresses health issues makes it an engaging experience. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/16/24 Full Review TRACY C A beautiful must see movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/23/24 Full Review Audience Member (THERES A TINT BIT OF SPOILERS) So when I first watched that movie i was like 10 maybe 11 and i cried so hard just from the death factor of it. Back then I cried a little bit but now... OMG- so now im 15 almost 16 and I cried through the whole thing. now understanding more of the meanings behind the movie it hit so hard. this movie hit so hard my chest physically hurts now from how hard i cried. it is an amazing movie though, i will give it that. While yes its a very sad movie they didnt just make it boom boom boom theirs 1000 sad things and it just keeps getting worse. its a sad movie but theirs bonds built and light hearted moments which end up making the movie sadder because you know that at the end someone is going to die. but yeah i cant watch this movie for another 5 years because i need some recovery time on this... BUT ITS SUCH A GREAT MOVIE 10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND IF YOU ARE SICK AND HAVE A STUFFY NOSE (me) <also i love cole sprouse 😭) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/11/24 Full Review Sofija L Very very good movie, very very sad movie. The way they learn to Trust eachother and Open up and how Will shows Stella that there is another way to live, as she does him. I was suprised that neither died in the end as i was expecting, but still heartbroken by the ending. They deserved happines, they deserved to steal that feet back, but i guess it felt like the sickness won, even tough it won precisely because of the love they shared. Cried for basically half the movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/07/24 Full Review Lara P The movie has a predictable plot like the most of the historical romance. This movie takes place in a hospital with some young people with cystic fibrosis. These young guys became a couple in the end, but untill there they needed to pass for some difficult because they can't be together without putting their lives at risk. The acting was out of this world and the script was amazing, because it up to the climax. The soundtrack was very emotional and added a different feelings for the fans. The best part was when they stayed together and enjoyed these moments and the worst moment was when their main friend die. This is a really good movie, despite how similar it was to other historical romances. The plot kept me on the edge of my seat and it was a tear jerker. If you need cry with a movie, this is the perfect movie for that. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/17/24 Full Review Hailey H Top of my favorite all time movies couldn’t relate more to it ! The best well done put together movie 🎥 ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/17/24 Full Review Read all reviews
