Everything, Everything

By placing race on the back burner, Everything, Everything isn't perpetuating the idea that love conquers all. Instead, love can be a catalyst for personal enlightenment.

Tepid melodrama.

Everything, Everything isn't without intelligence or charm, but just because a film is set in a sanitised environment doesn't mean that it should look or feel as antiseptically, oppressively pastel as this.

On the whole this fairly inoffensive production might strike the right chord with the demographic it is aimed at, but just don't expect anything more from it.

Profoundly silly teenage romance gets a begrudging nod of respect for a final-reel twist that nobody will see coming.

This is anaemic stuff, though perhaps its target audience won't care.

Pretty predictable as Maddy is willing to risk it all to experience life and be with Olly. A horrifying twist in the third act turns the film dark and the issues it raises are never addressed. The story pretty much falls apart at that point.

It isn't nearly as successful as the lovely The Fault In Our Stars, but it's an agreeable movie with a startling final act that might catch young audiences off-guard.

This wasn't really a real movie.

It felt like a Lifetime movie.
