Five Feet Apart

2019 · 1h 56m · Romance, Drama

IMDb 7.2 Metacritic 53 RT 53%

Skip it. 'Five Feet Apart' is a manipulative tearjerker that squanders a genuinely interesting premise—two sick teens navigating real medical restrictions—by prioritizing melodrama over authenticity. The middling scores tell you what you need to know: this is forgettable YA romance that doesn't earn its emotional beats.

Plot

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.
