My Review- Five Feet Apart . My rating 7/10
It's really refreshing when you don't know any of the actors in a movie and they impress you with their performances and sincerity.
Haley Lu Richardson I discover I have seen before in Split the James Mc Evoy thriller playing one of the terrified kidnap victims and she was very good in that film also .
This time she co stars as Stella with Cole Bruce as Will and Mouses Arias as Poe a stand out role who gets some great scenes.
This trio of young teenagers all have cystic fibrosis and are undergoing treatment in hospital that can't save them but may give them some extra years of life .
Stella and Will eventually fall in love after a bumpy start to their relationship while Poe is Stella's childhood friend and confidante who happens to be gay and about to turn 18 when the American health system deems that now you're on your own now and must finance your own health treatment.
It's an unusual love story and makes you aware of the plight that people with any disability or infectious or terminal disease go through. In this case they can't touch each other at all hence the title Five Feet Apart because of the risk of deadly infectious bacteria from each other but they still can fall in love and experience all the emotions and senses except touch.
It may sound a depressing film , it's not I found it very uplifting funny in parts sentimental in others and extremely well acted and I'll look out for these 3 young actors in the future.
