John Green wrote a truly remarkable book that brings to life the palpable sense of intrusive thoughts and OCD. Then this movie did a truly remarkable thing by finding ways to make the experience of those thoughts somehow visible. And without leaning on cliché. Honest. Vulnerable. Painful. Charming. A must see.

“Turtles,” to its credit, never locates a specious source of Aza’s troubles, nor does it try to unveil a solution to her suffering.

Being a teenager? It’s not for the faint of heart. Being a Green teen? Well, at least someone is treating you like an adult. The latest Green adaptation, “Turtles All the Way Down,” offers yet another sterling example of that mindset and the power of it.

Rated: B-

Movies and Munchies (YouTube)

The inclusion of a half-hearted mystery feels disingenuous and like bait-and-switch, but thankfully what the story switches to is more meaty, memorable, and resonant.

Rated: 3/5

Paste Magazine

The screenplay always rushes to return to a baseline humorous tone—which isn’t the only time it feels like some force is flattening Turtles All the Way Down.

Rated: 5.0/10
