After meeting each other, two people struggle with the emotional and physical scars of their past. They discover that even the smallest moments can mean something.

Critics Consensus

Though it at times buckles under the emotional weight of its source material, All The Bright Place succeeds on the strength of Elle Fanning and Justice Smith's charming and tender performances.

Its pure beating heart and humanistic undertones make it somewhat of a standout.

Keith & the Movies

And while the movie carries some of the lightweight genre appeal you would expect, “All the Bright Places” deserves credit for not just having serious intentions, but actually showing them on the screen.

Rated: 3.5/5

Culture Mix

Although [it] won't be an easy film to watch for people who are triggered by the same issues that the movie's teen characters are coping with, the intention is to help bring awareness to these issues so that people can get and give help in real life.

Cultured Vultures

Ultimately, Violet and Finch never attain a living, breathing quality that moves beyond the page on which they were conceived, and that, my friends, is dark stuff indeed.

Rated: 4.5/10

Brett Haley's "All the bright places" delivers astonishing cinematics and portryas the adventures that come along with mental illness quite accordingly. Musical composer Keegan DeWitt offers a breathtaking musical score that really speaks to the emotional essence of the film and the astonishing beauty of the character's town in Indiana. Elle Manning absolutely crushes her role so effortlessly and Justice Smith really hones into his character towards the half mark of the movie. However, like many teen films addressing such delicate and sensitive topics, it unfortunately falls short on providing the essential closure I think a lot of young audiences need to understand. Younger watchers almost always naturally miscontrue difficult themes. As a result of this mis-closure "All the bright places" unknowingly romanticizes the difficult topics that it all so tenderly tries to tackle. However this doesn't typically poll as an issue amognst more mature audiences. Elle Manning looks EXTREMELY BRITISH. I still wonder if she actually is. Justice Smith looks EXACTLY like Kyle Exum, it's scary.

If I had to think of a word for this movie apart from gutwrenching, it would be: Pure. The way the 2 main characters bring this love story to life is absolutely pure. They are as real as it gets. And their pain resonates on the deepest levels. This movie stays with you long after its over. I don't think I can watch it again because I'm not trying to cry. But its a great movie for sure.

I feel as if this movie really grasped the concept of two teens who were struggling with mental illnesses. The film shows them finding the joys of life with each other again due to their adventures for their school assignment. The ending of the film shows that you can still thrive in life even when sad things happen.
