The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Julia CooperMay 20, 2017
Engrossing and not too sugar-sweet, Meghie’s movie is slightly paranoid, surprisingly fantastical and superb at translating the overwhelming stupor of first love with big, bold shots and a banging soundtrack. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyDevan CogganMay 18, 2017
Director Stella Meghie sidesteps the pitfalls of your typical YA movie, delivering a gorgeous and sweet story that you can’t help but fall in love with. Read full review

Boston GlobeTy BurrMay 17, 2017
What separates the good teen romances based on young adult novels from the soppy, ridiculous ones? Emotional conviction, mostly, and committed performances. Everything, Everything is mostly one of the good ones, even if it has everything (everything) that makes these movies head south for everyone (everyone) but the target audience of teenage girls.

New York Daily NewsAriel ScottiMay 18, 2017
The twist ending both saves and hurts the film. The last few minutes are a bit clichéd, if not uplifting, but what gets Maddy there is heartbreaking and infuriating. Read full review

The New York TimesNeil GenzlingerMay 18, 2017
With a pair of irresistible leads and a straightforward love-overcomes-adversity story, Everything, Everything scores a direct hit on the teenage-girl market. Others might find it pretty enjoyable as well. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterSheri LindenMay 18, 2017
Jolts of humor and fantasy bring welcome texture to the romance-novel sleekness, as do the leads, who both have an uncommon, idiosyncratic allure. Read full review

IndieWireJude DryMay 22, 2017
It may not break the mold in many ways but one, but the impact of that one is far from trivial. Read full review

The A.V. ClubKatie RifeMay 18, 2017
The film does have its charms. The outside world, when we do reach it, is as gorgeous for the audience as it must appear to someone seeing it for the first time. Read full review

Chicago TribuneKatie WalshMay 19, 2017
Aside from its leading lady, what Everything, Everything has going for it is its light, fantastical aesthetic, an unexpected sense of buoyancy and light. Read full review

ReelViewsJames BerardinelliMay 18, 2017
As YA romances go – and there are plenty to choose from – this is a lesser option. Read full review

The PlaylistWill AshtonMay 22, 2017
Everything, Everything is appealing in its own way. It’s good-hearted, if poorly conceived, but perhaps most crucially, Everything, Everything leaves you with very little worth remembering. Read full review

ConsequenceAllison ShoemakerMay 18, 2017
Everything, Everything is a film that achieves its ends in appealing fashion. Read full review

TheWrapMay 18, 2017
The lead actors are attractive and charismatic and give nuanced performances. Unfortunately, the dialogue they are given to speak is often trite and too many plot strands are unconvincing. Read full review

RogerEbert.comSusan WloszczynaMay 19, 2017
And the matter-of-fact portrayal of a bi-racial relationship is presented just as it should be — unremarked upon. Read full review

The Seattle TimesMoira MacdonaldMay 18, 2017
Everything, Everything is watchable and not unpleasant, in its moony way, thanks to the chemistry of two leads, both of whom exude a genuine sweetness in the face of an absurd plotline. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreMay 18, 2017
Nicola Voon’s novel becomes a charmingly gooey but somewhat gutless adolescent romance all highlighted and underlined with “forbidden love” semiotics. Read full review

Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovMay 17, 2017
As YA adaptations go, this isn’t quite "The Notebook," but its core demographic of teen girls will likely be more than satisfied. Read full review

The Film StageJohn FinkMay 18, 2017
This is a dull, illogical, yet sincere and well-meaning drama. Read full review

The GuardianCath ClarkeAug 24, 2017
This is anaemic stuff, though perhaps its target audience won’t care. Read full review

Arizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzMay 18, 2017
Everything, Everything is a flawed film in many ways, but there is one that’s a deal breaker: It doesn’t make you cry. Read full review

VarietyJoe LeydonMay 18, 2017
For the first hour or so, it is unabashedly sappy yet modestly engaging, buoyed by the low-key charm of its two leads. But then an implausible third-act reveal spoils the fun, and the movie never recovers. Read full review

New York PostSara StewartMay 18, 2017
It’s a heavy lift to find any single thing that happens here remotely plausible, and ultimately it almost seems a horror movie misinterpreted as a romance. File this one under “The Fault in Our Screenplay.” Read full review

Slant MagazineEric HendersonMay 18, 2017
The film's plot crux isn't romantic fatalism, but 2017's cutest manifestation of trendy gaslighting. Read full review

Washington PostMichael O'SullivanMay 25, 2017
Stenberg and Robinson are enormously appealing young actors, but charisma only goes so far in a story that manages to be, as directed by Stella Meghie (“Jean of the Joneses”), sterile and wildly far-fetched. Read full review

Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperMay 18, 2017
Virtually every single element in Everything, Everything rings false and manipulative — and that’s BEFORE we get to a Big Reveal so contrived, so insanely implausible, so monstrously tone-deaf, we can see the entire movie plunging off a cliff, landing with a sickening thud in the Land of the Worst Movies of the Year.

Stenberg’s effervescent turn can’t save this from curdling early into manipulative, melodramatic mush. Read full review
