Five Feet Apart

Five feet apart is about two teens,  Stella Grant (Haley Lue Richardson)  and Will Newman (Cole Sprouse). They both suffer from an illness called Cystic fibrosis or CF for short.  It is also one of the fast growing YA book to screen adaptations.
      Stella and Will meet in an hospital when they went for a new form of treatment along with Poe (Moises Arias)  who also suffers from Cystic fibrosis and was Stella's hospital best friend. Patients suffering from CF have to stay at least six feet apart in order not to contact infection from themselves so they three of them stick to that rule.
   

When Stella and Will first met,  Stella was full of life,  happy and she was hoping to get a new lungs and undergo a transplant. Will on the other hand tested positive for a dangerous bacteria named "B cepacia" and he was fed up with the treatment and was not taking his drugs.  Stella being controlling and kind of bossy befriends him so that she will help him stay committed to his treatment and take his drugs. The friendship escalates and develops into something romantic.  The two of them try despite all odds to be together but  can they survive??
    Five feet apart has a romantic storyline similar to that of The Fault in Our Stars and if you loved The Fault in our Stars you will love this one.  Although the romance is limited because both characters can not be within less than six feet apart and the movie is set in a hospital.  The title was gotten because Stella and Will decide to risk it and come one more feet closer.

   The movie is welcomed in some part of CF community because it helps create awareness of the illness and is not welcomed in some part of CF community because they are worried that it leads the audience/viewers to romanticize the illness.  Never the less the movie emphasizes the importance of treasuring the people close to you and spending as much time as you can with them because life is too short.  The themes present in this movie are those of empathy and perseverance. Offensive words are used few times and there are few references to sex because Stella and Will who can not even kiss wished they could have sex but can not because of their illness.
   The movie was released on March 15th 2019 and was directed by Justin Baldoniit runs for 116minutes and is rated PG13 for thematic elements, language and suggestive materials.<script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>
