Romance Drama

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.

starring Haley Lu Richardson, Cole Sprouse, Moisés Arias, Kimberly Hébert Gregory

how much it moved you

Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.

Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.

Read from 110 comments (87 from Reddit, 23 from Metacritic) — 34 of them described how it moves.

➖ steady — Holds one level all the way. Hard going most of the way through. Very little of it ever resolves. Marked above the line: 1 that landed as a blow, 1 that got a real laugh.

“I did find myself wondering what time it was about 3/4 of the way through, which is kind of surprising because it didn't feel slow or dragging.”

“We each have our time-wasting habits that cause us to forget just how short life really is. You could anticipate habitually checking on social media to last only a minute, then suddenly a half hour later are googling why you should use bourbon for a chocolate chip cookie recipe. Those procrastination moments halt our livelihood to borderline existing in solitude, sleepless with apple pie a la mode heated without the strawberry ice cream (or non-canned whipped cream) on top.

“I'm sure the filmmakers' intentions were nowhere near this bad, but what I gleaned from "Five Feet Apart" as a depiction of cystic fibrosis is that the disease itself is much less of a debilitating illness as it is a borderline **** plot device that's keeping two horny teenagers from making out, ultimately romanticizing and -- in turn -- minimizing a very un-romantic and serious disease in the real world. Couple that with all of the treacly, "Everything, Everything" meets "The Fault In Our Stars”

“What an incredibly Romantic (with a capital R) story, which is reminiscent in many ways of Hathorne's Rappacini's Daughter - the girl raised in the poisonous garden who is incredibly beautiful but who is poisonous to anyone she makes contact with. Yes, it's a bit of a stretch, but the Romantic themes of intellect vs. emotion and head vs heart are overflowing in this very beautiful story.
