Review of Five Feet Apart (2019) by Jluis_001 — 28 Mar 2019
Apparently couples with illnesses are the new niche for romantic films in Hollywood. And not that there are many but the truth is that this film made it clear that there is very little to grab within that theme.
Five Feet Apart will remind you in seconds of The Fault in Our Stars and although the diseases are different, the characters are tremendously similar. She's the smart one and fully aware of her illness while he's the risky guy and too cool for the rules but although on one hand Ansel Elgort had charisma, Cole Sprouse cannot help feeling arrogant and unfriendly.
Haley Lu Richardson tries but it's clear that the script allows very little. This girl has more talent than shown here and she should definitely look for better roles.
In conclusion, there's nothing here that feels different to something you haven't seen before.
