Synopsis And Review
Patients suffering from Cystic Fibrosis must stay six feet apart to avoid getting infected from each other. Infections from other patients can be dangerous to a fatal extent. Stella, who is suffering from Cystic Fibrosis abides by these rules. Her impression of Will at the beginning is not too good, as she sees him as someone who took risks and kept breaking the rules. As she gets more aware of him, she realizes that his rule-breaking habit leads him to not follow his treatment properly. Through some conditions, she gets him to agree to follow his treatment regime. As they spend more time together, Will and Stella fall in love.
A great part of Five Feet Apart was that the creators of the movie had done good research on the disease, which makes the story so much more believable. The movie refuses to spoon-feed the audience and instead leaves many things up to the imagination of the audience. A lot of things are expressed through little actions rather than the use of words. There were not too many characters in the movie. Instead, Five Feet Apart takes a few characters and builds them up with all.
