Five Feet Apart's reviews
Media reviews
Los Angeles Times
"?Five Feet Apart? elevates the sick teen genre with a poignant love story".
"The honesty of the actors and their commitment to each other bails the movie out. They manage to find truth in a highly manipulative situation, and that?s something even the least stardust-sprinkled among us can appreciate".
Entertainment Weekly
"Even if you find yourself getting choked up by Five Feet Apart ? and you will ? you?ll know deep down that you?re being played. My advice is to just let yourself have that good cry. There?s plenty of time to feel ashamed about it tomorrow".
"'Five Feet Apart' isn?t a charity project, and there?s something a wee bit icky about how cleverly its premise exploits the quirks of a terminal affliction, but there?s no way around the fact that this movie has a future beyond its profit margins".
Variety
?'Five Feet Apart' manages to humanize the effects of the disease most tangibly and affectingly".
The A.V. Club
"Thankfully, spending the past five years playing a romantic leading man on Jane The Virgin has given debut feature director Justin Baldoni a keen eye for capturing lush romantic imagery, particularly once Stella and Will ?reclaim one foot? and start roaming the hospital".
