Wendy Ide The Times (UK) 02/13/2023
The subject matter — a pair of teenage cancer sufferers meet and fall in love — could have been mawkish mush, but there’s a sharp, abrasive wit and anger that tempers the tear-jerking with humour. Go to Full Review Rachel Fields Bitch Media 01/21/2021
The reason that The Fault in Our Stars works so well is that its main draw (the teenage love story) is tied so expertly to its emotional core (Hazel's relationship with her parents). Go to Full Review Jim Slotek Toronto Sun 01/06/2015
4/5
The Fault In Our Stars could indeed become this generation's Love Story -- mildly implausible, but genuinely moving. Go to Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies 08/20/2022
3.5/5
It actually presents us with situations and a relationship that feels genuine yet uncertain because of the dark cloud hanging over it. Go to Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse 02/01/2021

My biggest complaint about the whole experience was being splashed by the tears of my fellow moviegoers. Bring a towel. Go to Full Review Leigh Paatsch Herald Sun (Australia) 11/17/2020
4/5
The winning combo of the shamelessly melodramatic and the slyly mischievous that powers the movie owes much to yet another pitch-perfect lead performance from Woodley. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Kieran W. @kxxrxn Oct 8 You could watch this movie at every stage of your life and it still will be a great movie. It will never not have you crying. See more Jessica W Aug 31 THE movie that made me fall in love with the movies! Touching, heartfelt, romantic, real. The film I stack against all others. Shai and Nat for life! :) See more Hao Ian L @HaOiAn Aug 20 It suffers from a tendency towards unnecessary literary pretension, where the end result is some awkward and questionable subplots, but otherwise a largely successful adaptation that delivers some earnest and emotionally honest portrayal of coming-of-age teenage love in the shadow of terminal illness, and that's what separates The Fault in Our Stars apart from the rest of the genre. See more Andres M Aug 9 es increiblmente hermosa y cruda es de esas peliculas que nos enseña a valorar la vida y que por mas que tengamos dificultades aprovechar y sacarle gusto a las pequeñeces See more Dennis T Jul 16 A chick Flick that even men could enjoy, movie made me sob with that ending See more Faiz D May 13 I truly enjoyed this film. The cast did a wonderful job. The settings were beautiful. The writing was good. Everything just fit into place. I especially enjoy films that make the audience feel something. A film that inspires people, or makes them believe in something. This film did exactly that. See more Read all reviews
