Everything, Everything

About This Movie

Everything, Everything is an interesting blend of drama and romance that centers on Maddy, a girl confined to her home due to a rare illness. The film has this soft, dreamy vibe, capturing her sheltered world with a muted color palette that feels both isolating and intimate. When Olly, the boy next door, enters her life, there's this palpable tension and yearning that unfolds. Their chemistry is genuinely felt, though the pacing sometimes wavers a bit. The themes of love versus fear, and the desire for freedom are explored in a way that feels relatable, despite the fantastical premise. I found the performances sincere; Amandla Stenberg brings a real depth to Maddy’s character. It's distinctive in its approach to the teenage experience and isolation, though it doesn't always fully explore the implications of its setup.
