Khamael D. This movie made me cry at all the right times and I love how concerned depression and how to handle it Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/20/25 Full Review Siam A I kinda found myself in this movie :) Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/28/25 Full Review Vixo S Simpler than I expected. All the Bright Places is a film I liked, though I feel its story is far too simple for the potential it had. The acting is very good, and the performers beautifully convey the emotion and vulnerability of their characters, but at times it feels like the movie only scratches the surface of the delicate themes it tries to explore. Strangely enough, what caught my attention the most was how ugly the poster was, which distracted me more than it should have. Still, it’s a decent movie with good intentions and a positive message that might resonate with those looking for a light story about pain and hope. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/15/25 Full Review Conrad C A beautiful movie to watch due in large part to the performances by its leads. Justice Smith is given a real chance to shine and gives a memorable and eccentric performance. The main gripes I had came down to the realism of the ending and the age of the cast who were definitely not believably teenagers anymore. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/27/25 Full Review Audience Member hoi:) This film was suggested to me because I was looking for films that deal with topics like depression. So, I went for it. I had certain expectations because the films I'd seen with Elle Fanning were mostly really good. She really played very well here, too. Otherwise, the film also had the elements that define a drama and actually dealt with depression. I particularly liked the first half because I couldn't tell which direction the film was going in. At times, I expected the film to be more of a crime thriller. The second half, however, went more towards drama and, unfortunately, romance. Spoiler alert: The girl is being followed by a classmate. The guy behaves really strangely and crosses boundaries several times. Nevertheless, they become friends. I thought they would become friends and help each other, and then there's a twist about the guy also having similar problems with mental illness. But the film does something incredibly cheesy. They fall in love, which is really cheesy, especially given the guy's behavior and how little they know each other. It's exaggerated and unrealistic. The girl also frequently asks why he's behaving like that, but then something else happens and she stops asking questions. You wait for a big announcement and wonder why you didn't see that coming, but even though it often seems that way, it doesn't happen. Ultimately, the guy commits suicide, where I thought there was nothing to worry about—after all, he could already dive for three minutes without equipment. But he's no longer alive, and even though this makes things even worse for the girl, she's surprisingly in a good mood, and then the film ends. What bothered me was that the film seemed to barely deal with such illnesses, that was my impression. The girl is afraid of driving, but then drives after someone talks to her. As if all it takes is a few friendly conversations and such illnesses are cured. The film has a lot of inaccuracies and doesn't really address mental illness, but I found some of the acting to be very good, which is why I still say that I found the film mediocre.
