John Green once again nails the intricacies of adolescence and the importance of mental health in Turtles All the Way Down, a dynamic drama held together by a stellar cast.

Owen Gleiberman

Variety

“Turtles All the Way Down” makes Aza’s OCD just specific enough to draw us in, then deals with it in a way that’s just manipulative and sugar-coated enough to leave us thinking, “Yep, it’s another YA movie.”

It’s a charming, delightful YA romance that doesn’t bind itself to the sole enjoyment of its target market.

Rated: 3/4

New York Times

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

Loud and Clear Reviews

Turtles All the Way Down is not the best John Green novel adaptation, but it is not the worst either. A lot of care seems to have been put into it by the director, writers, and cast even if the narrative has issues here and there.

Rated: 3.5/5

Lee Zumpe

Tampa Bay Newspapers

The film is an erratic hodgepodge that manages to incorporate a budding romance, drama with friends and family, and a missing-person mystery.

Turtles All the Way Down, the new movie based on John Green’s best-selling book by the same name, is a raw and honest look at how hard being a teenager while trying to deal with mental health issues can be.

This was one of the most faithful book to movie adaptations I have ever seen in my life. A lot of the dialogue was actually from the book, making it a good and fun watch. I think this movie was casted perfectly with the right group of actors. Isabela did such an amazing job bringing our Aza Holmes to life and Cree embodied Daisy flawlessly. Felix was an amazing Davis (I honestly don't know of any actor who can pull off Davis better than him) and he had amazing on-screen chemistry with Isabela. Call me biased but I believe Turtles All the Way down is the best John Greene movie (Don't worry, "The Fall in Our Stars" is a very close second :) ). It was so worth the watch and read and I would truly reccomend this movie to anyone. It was executed perfectly and I could not ask for a better adaptation of my favorite book.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
