The Fault in Our Stars

One sick love story


The Fault in Our Stars
Based on a popular young-adult novel, this is about two teenagers who share an acerbic wit, a disdain for the conventional, and a love that sweeps them on a journey. Their relationship is all the more miraculous given that her other constant companion is an oxygen tank, he jokes about his prosthetic leg, and that they met and fell in love at a cancer support group as they are both suffering from the disease despite their tender age.

125 minutes.

Cape Argus / The Star
Justin Lowe quote iconTouching tale of teens battling Big C.

ReelViews
James Berardinelli quote iconThe tale itself may be unremarkable but the characters and emotions are real, and sometimes that's all it takes for a movie to win over the unbelievers.

ScreenIt
C. Fuchs quote iconWhile the manipulation is easy to predict and then spot when it occurs, I found it highly effective without being troublesome or irritating. For those who love tragic tearjerkers, there's not much fault in The Fault in Our Stars.
