| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertAnyone who can watch Woodley and Elgort's romantic tug-of-war and not get caught up in their charm is defective. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA poignant and heart-affecting love story about two teenagers squaring off against death. |
| indieWireEric KohnBoone’s unobtrusive style takes cues from the subdued nature of the material, but there’s little about the movie that makes the filmmaking stand out. Instead, it derives its chief strengths from a series of efforts to take the drama seriously, mainly embodied by Woodley’s onscreen investment in it. |
| HitFixDrew McWeenyThe details are what matters, and the script by Scott Neustadter & Michael H. Weber, adapted from the well-loved novel by John Green, is very smart and fairly unsentimental, which works to the material's advantage. |
| Film School RejectsRob HunterIt's a familiar message, but it's one told well with wit and heart. And a whole truckload of metaphors. |
| Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta)Brian GibsonSpeaks truth to cancer, only to wade into the puddles of tears it jerks, then bathe there by hyper-eulogizing itself; it even reduces the Anne Frank house to a metaphor for Hazel's struggle and foreplay for the star-crossed lovers' loss of virginity. Ugh. |
| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonIt hooks us with its mix of strong dialogue, restrained direction and powerhouse performances. |
| Thompson on HollywoodAnne ThompsonThis is a manipulatively fake studio movie all the way, anchored and saved by star Shailene Woodley's inability to be inauthentic. |
| Us WeeklyMara ReinsteinSee? You don't always need vampires and factions to show teens in all their angst-filled, acid-tongued and hopeful glory. |
| Boston HeraldJames VerniereLuminous leads make this schmaltz palatable. |
