Lara K @RT13292836 Aug 14 Despite my better judgment, I have to admit that I like this film. Yes, it contains one of the most jarring and tasteless scenes ever put to film. I still don’t understand how an otherwise thoughtful, relatively well-written film could handle such heavy subject matter with surprising nuance and then have two teenagers with cancer kiss in the Anne Frank House while a crowd applauds. The film also stumbles whenever it tries too hard to be intellectual. Van Houten’s philosophical digressions can perhaps be excused as deliberately abstract, but elsewhere there are a few too many grand words and ideas without quite enough finesse to keep them from sounding pretentious. And yet, the cast and performances are wonderful. The film very obviously sets out to make you cry, but for the most part, it earns those tears without becoming overly sentimental. It manages to create some genuinely beautiful, well-crafted relationships between its characters, and I still find myself rewatching it.

It follows Hazel, a teenager living with cancer and an oxygen tank, who meets the confident and charming Augustus at a support group. Their romance could easily have become a collection of medical-drama clichés, but the film works because it treats them as teenagers before treating them as patients. Shailene Woodley is excellent, bringing intelligence, humor, fear and quiet vulnerability to Hazel, while her chemistry with Ansel Elgort gives the story warmth. The film is manipulative, sentimental and sometimes too carefully constructed around its big emotional moments, but the characters are likeable enough for those tears to feel earned. Beautiful, romantic and difficult to resist. See more Cancer C @Nobutseriously Jul 1 Maybe don't watch if you just broke up with your boyfriend while having cancer. Otherwise phenomenal. See more Gabriella B @RT16614257 Jun 29 The Fault in Our Stars is a beautiful and emotional movie about Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters, two teenagers who fall in love while facing the challenges of cancer. Their journey is full of love, hope, and difficult moments that show how precious life can be. The film stars Shailene Woodley as Hazel and Ansel Elgort as Augustus. Both actors give amazing and realistic performances that make the story even more touching and heartbreaking. This movie is emotional, romantic, inspiring, thought-provoking, memorable, touching, heartbreaking, and beautiful. I highly recommend it, especially if you enjoy movies that make you cry. It is the perfect film for anyone looking for an emotional story that will stay with them long after it ends. See more Mai A @RT52597429 Jun 26 Tôi đã khóc rất đã khi xem bộ phim này. Tình yêu trong sáng và thuần khiết của họ là liều thuốc chữa lành cho nhau, cũng là liều thuốc chữa lành cho tôi. Nhưng ngay từ ban đầu, khi mối quan hệ này bắt đầu, chúng ta đều đã biết nó phải kết thúc trong nước mắt khi một người sẽ ra đi trước người còn lại. Cuộc đời vốn dĩ là vậy, khoảnh khắc đẹp thật hiếm hoi và quý giá. Tôi đánh giá đây là một bộ phim hay vì cách khai thác sức mạnh chữa lành của tình yêu rất tinh tế và nhẹ nhàng, cũng như chọn cho nhân vật một thái độ đối diện với cái kết đầy mạnh mẽ. Ông trời chắc chắn sẽ mang họ đi ở một độ tuổi rất đẹp ấy...nhưng may mắn thay, trước khi làm điều tàn nhẫn đó, ông trời gửi họ đến bên nhau.

It´s definitely a must-watch for all teens out there, and I obviously recommend it. See more Read all reviews
