The Sky Is Everywhere

The style and presentation of this movie keeps it alive all the way through, even when the plot and characters are a little derivative it's still unique enough in its presentation to be enjoyable and worthwhile. Apple TV + just releasing bangers every month.

If you've lost that sister or brother or whomever understood you with no language this movie gets it. That several of the characters struggle with their grief in different and sometimes conflicting ways brings interest and conflict. Well directed and well acted. 4 thumbs up.

I really enjoyed 'The Sky Is Everywhere'.

I can't comment on how it compares to the book, but solely on film terms I think it's very good. Grace Kaufman gives a pleasing performance, showing a fair few emotions in the role. The rest of 'em are solid too, whether that be Jacques Colimon or Cherry Jones. Visually it also looks real neat.

I'm not saying it's perfect of course, spontaneous moments of everyone dancing is still yet to work on me, though it is a pleasant watch all in all - with added meaning. Judge for yourself, but I personally think it is more than up to the mark. A clear-cut 8/10 for me.

7/10 A unique production that reflects Jandy Nelson's world and magical realism. Nature itself is one of the main protagonists (especially the Redwoods). The playful camera work was great - same goes for the editing and acting. The overcrowded color palette may be too much for some but for others an eye-feast. It was a smart choice to add comic relief throughout the movie as well as weird fairytale-like animal sounds.

The only thing missing was the title quote from Nelson's book! Why was that?

By accident I watched this movie but I must say that I loved it Beautiful cinematic camera work. Okay its a teenage story and bit predictable but still I had a great 100 minutes. Certainly not a 5,6 but an 8.0.
