	Author	Review
United States	Andrew Barker Variety	"It walks a knife's edge between heart-on-sleeve sensitivity and crass exploitation (...) the fact that it largely stays on the right side of that divide has to mark it as a success"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"A fresh, lively love story, brimming with humor and heartbreak, and lifted to the heights by Shailene Woodley (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Justin Lowe The Hollywood Reporter	"The greatest strengths of the film clearly come from Green’s novel, which resolutely refuses to become a cliched cancer drama, creating instead two vibrant, believable young characters"	POS
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"An unabashed tearjerker (...) The Fault in Our Stars does, however, grant the audience's wish for a literate, exuberant and wise teen romance (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"Cheers to a film in which the female teenage protagonist isn’t a mutant, an animated princess, a vampire, in love with a vampire (...) 'The Fault in Our Stars' is a lovely work (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Ann Hornaday The Washington Post	"A wise, warm, funny and touching romantic drama (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"A combination of winsome modesty and brazen manipulation (...) It’s less a movie about cancer than a depiction — really a celebration — of adolescent narcissism"	NEU
United States	Connie Ogle Miami Herald	"A sweet, romantic film full of sudden warmth and humor. It gets everything right about being young and in love for the first time (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
