Turtles All the Way Down

Despite the film not staggering our eyes with extraordinarily amazing cinematography or oscar-worthy acting performances, it manages to showcase passable performances and some not half-bad shots.

Unfortunately the movie itself struggles to engage its audience due to a lackluster plot. It fails to deliver a compelling story, leaving many unanswered questions lingering.

What stood out for me was the disproportionate focus on Davis and his family. It gives the impression of inflated importance, detracting from the broader narrative.

Also I hated the ending.

Overall the movie is a mediocre effort that may entertain momentarily, but ultimately fails to leave a lasting impression.

I'm going to start off by just saying this was a good movie. Daisy, the best friend carries the entire movie. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have continued watching this. I haven't seen many depictions of the main character's disorder, which I really appreciated. I didn't know that OCD severely affected one's life like that.

The mystery that was of the rich boy's father fell EXTREMELY flat. I thought it was an interesting beginning, but the movie doesn't seriously come back to it until the end of the movie. It wasn't important at all. The romance plot is the same way. There was absolutely nothing special about this boy, other than he is rich and cute.

I found the best friend relationship between Daisy and the main character compelling. Their interactions are just so full of life. Especially the car scene, that's the best scene in the entire movie.

I don't recommend it if you want romance/mystery but this movie is for a good laugh on a relaxing day. 5/10. Praise Daisy.

I'm still fairly new John Green's books, but I haven't been a stranger to his films. We have to remember when a book gets adapted to film, that there will always be changes and things cut to help fill a movie length runtime. I definitely felt like most of the right things were cut and at least the final product still followed the story and hit all the important plot points. Is it perfect? No, and that's okay, but I still feel like this is very well adapted and still easy to follow. The entire main core cast was phenomenal and their chemistry was perfect! They all felt like their characters and all the heartfelt and tear jerking moments felt lived in. I'm not saying this movie is for everyone, but I still for sure enjoyed it.

I'll start by saying I'm a fan of John Green. I've read most of his books following the popularity of Fault In Our Stars and have enjoyed the movie adaptations. I can remember reading this book and not loving it - Likely in comparison to some of his others. But for what is maybe not his strongest story, this movie is a really good adaptation. I think it captures the character of Aza really well, and then changes made to the storyline help move the film along for the better. I think the young cast have done a great job, and whilst this isn't the type of movie that will win any awards, all in all it's a very solid film.

Beautifully filmed smart movie adorned with people great to look at that does a masterful job of explaining what goes on inside the head of a person with obsessive thoughts.

There have been a few other movies or TV shows that have examined 'mental illness' in the form of OCD, where your mind goes spiraling out of control with a thought you just can't stop letting control you.

This movie does such a great job of explaining how this happens, and compassionately treating the young woman who sufferes from OCD.

It's obvious that the author of the original book that this movie is based on had his own version of OCD.

I heartily recommend this movie. Girls will probably appreciate it more than the type of guy who wants car chases and shootem' ups. But I'm a guy, and I loved it.

Don't miss this.
