The Fault in Our Stars, directed by Josh Boone and based on the bestselling novel, was released in 2014 and quickly captured worldwide attention. The film portrays life’s biggest challenges while showing the beauty of being loved through both the highs and lows. It is deeply moving yet heartbreaking, constantly pulling on viewers’ emotions. Emma Carne shared, “This movie had me sobbing at the end. It was so incredibly moving and so sad.”

The story follows Hazel Grace Lancaster, a sixteen-year-old girl with thyroid cancer that has spread to her lungs. Despite the disease altering her entire life and forcing her to rely on an oxygen machine 24/7, Hazel refuses to let it define her. During a cancer support group meeting, she meets Augustus Waters, a former basketball player who lost his leg to osteosarcoma. The two quickly fall in love, experiencing joy, pain, and everything in between.

While the film ultimately ends in tragedy, leaving Hazel heartbroken and unsure of what comes next, it beautifully shows that even in loss, love endures. Peyton Moring commented, “I have yet to watch it, but I really want to see what all the hype is about.”
