Samuel S "Turtles All the Way Down" was an amazing movie, easily the best of 2024. It resonated deeply with many teens, tackling issues that are very relevant to what they're going through. The film is profoundly moving, and I believe that anyone who watches it will think it's a great movie. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/07/24 Full Review Simona F I loved the movie, it brought me back to the book and learning about ocd for the first time. It feels like this was kind of my story too after I was diagnosed, when I was a teenager. Some differences, but I am glad to see some representation of ocd in teen movies. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/01/24 Full Review Joshua C I quite enjoyed this one. Turtles All the Way Down is a relatable, if at times imbalanced teen drama. It provides a raw portrayal of mental illness. It is aided by some great sound design and editing which help to immerse us into the mind of the protagonist, Aza. Isabela Merced puts on a gripping lead performance, portraying the aforementioned Aza and her condition with empathy and nuance. Seriously, it's one of my favourites of the year so far. As mentioned earlier, I do feel that the script struggles to balance the general teen angst aspect, the romance and some of the OCD elements, and the mystery subplot feels a little unnecessary, but these issues don't completely deter from the experience. Overall I'd say that while I can't speak to its faithfulness to the novel of the same name, Turtles All the Way Down is a more than decent enough teen film which focuses on the relevant issue of mental health with tact. While nothing revolutionary, it stands out thanks in no small part due to some of Hannah Marks' direction choices and Isabela Merced's performance. While certain elements don't work entirely, they do not derail the entire film.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/19/24 Full Review Z ( This was one of- no- The Best movie i watched this year(so far) it was Oscar-Worthy if u ask me personally, the theme was so, so beautiful that it hurt… physically. The acting was the best part, it was simple and most of all REALISTIC, in other teen shows or movies they act SO weird, i mean, come on No One does that. In Nutshell- CHEF’S KISS🤌 Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/11/24 Full Review Keizi C The mystery at hand in this film feels extremely shallow and almost forgotten at times, luckily the romance and actual beating heart manages to land quite effectively. Isabella Merced delivers with big and small emotions but Cree Cicchino is a real standout delivering huge on laughs as her best friend. Overall, as most John Green adaptations go, it was well crafted all around. Nothing life altering, nothing I’d regret watching, but also something that still had substance and more than enough of a heartbeat to keep you invested. I wanna be someone’s holmesy 😔 Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/10/24 Full Review Read all reviews
