Wendy Ide The Times (UK) 02/13/2023
The subject matter — a pair of teenage cancer sufferers meet and fall in love — could have been mawkish mush, but there’s a sharp, abrasive wit and anger that tempers the tear-jerking with humour. Go to Full Review
Rachel Fields Bitch Media 01/21/2021
The reason that The Fault in Our Stars works so well is that its main draw (the teenage love story) is tied so expertly to its emotional core (Hazel's relationship with her parents). Go to Full Review

The Fault In Our Stars could indeed become this generation's Love Story -- mildly implausible, but genuinely moving. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
It actually presents us with situations and a relationship that feels genuine yet uncertain because of the dark cloud hanging over it. Go to Full Review

My biggest complaint about the whole experience was being splashed by the tears of my fellow moviegoers. Bring a towel. Go to Full Review

4/5
The winning combo of the shamelessly melodramatic and the slyly mischievous that powers the movie owes much to yet another pitch-perfect lead performance from Woodley. Go to Full Review

Cancer C @Nobutseriously 10h Maybe don't watch if you just broke up with your boyfriend while having cancer. Otherwise phenomenal. See more Gabriella B @RT16614257 2d 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 4d 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. See more Natalia M @RT25564677 6d It´s a cute love story, but it might come off as cliché and a bit predictable. It´s definitely a must-watch for all teens out there, and I obviously recommend it. See more Elif C @RT07980204 Jun 17 Ngl that shit was cheeks, I tried to enjoy it and somehow managed to SURVIVE to the end of the film. Augustus Gloop or whatever got the Gojo treatment and the director expects us to shed a tear- not a single drop of water left my dry ahh eyeballs after watching ts bs. I can't recommend this film any less. Don't waste your time if you want to cry you'd get the same enjoyment and more tears from staring at paint drying. Do not watch this film unless you are unemployed and got hours to burn. See more Vannesa D @VannesaD123 Jun 10 The Fault in Our Stars is a beautiful and emotional romantic drama that tells a touching story about love, hope and living life to the fullest. The performances are heartfelt, the chemistry between the lead characters feels genuine and the film balances sadness with moments of joy. It is a moving movie that stays with you long after it ends and reminds you to cherish every moment. See more Read all reviews
