While the film's execution does feel pretty straightforward at times, there's a certain unmistakable charm and amount of heart to it that kept me smiling and enjoying it throughout for the most part. Kaufman's lead performance is equal parts delightful and heartbreaking, and she pulls it off quite well. But overall, it may feel like a by-the-numbers YA adaptation at times, but ultimately it's a touching and admirable story in the end that I just couldn't help but smile by the end of.… Expand

Visually I can't complain, but the story presented here, adapted from a YA book by the same writer, leaves a lot to be desired.

Mostly because of the lack of genuine feeling for a subject that mixes youth and grief after a family death, and those emotions need to be portrayed on screen in a natural way, not as mechanic or constructed as polished as what is seen here.

As I mentioned, there are a lot of visual sequences that look amazing, but that's just part of the presentation, clearly no small detail, but I find it really disappointing that its story doesn't live up even a little bit to what its director is proposing visually.… Expand

Probably the worst coming-of-age story I've ever come across: Lennie, a 16-year-old clarinetist, is tossed between the polarized vicissitudes of traumatic mourning and love at first sight, and reacts to both with the madness:(Mauro Lanari)
Probably the worst coming-of-age story I've ever come across: Lennie, a 16-year-old clarinetist, is tossed between the polarized vicissitudes of traumatic mourning and love at first sight, and reacts to both with the madness: crazy because of Thanatos as much as of Eros in an almost indistinguishable way. Sexuality has just the additional element of hormonal euphoria, but I would have suggested a more balanced musicality by listening to and playing "Lithium" instead of Bach. Decker aggravates the teen dramedy by confusing poetic lyricism with kitsch.… Expand

I like the music playing during the film and the fact its quite imaginative - it has a daydreamy feel to it, a bit like The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. However, I just didn't feel at all connected to the overall story arc, unfortunately. Its a fairly easily forgettable film but its not entirely bad either. It's very much a film focussing on a teenage girls emotions - heartbreak etc., so it'll either appeal or not. Its not really for me but I imagine there's an audience for it who would enjoy it well enough. I wouldn't particularly recommend it, no.… Expand

This movie would be better if the main character wasn't a toxic stalker and there was less time spent on surreal imagery that barely applies and more time on actual character development.

I really enjoyed 'The Sky Is Everywhere'.

I can't comment on how it compares to the book, but solely on film terms I think it's very good. Grace Kaufman gives a pleasing performance, showing a fair few emotions in the role. The rest of 'emI really enjoyed 'The Sky Is Everywhere'.

I can't comment on how it compares to the book, but solely on film terms I think it's very good. Grace Kaufman gives a pleasing performance, showing a fair few emotions in the role. The rest of 'em are solid too, whether that be Jacques Colimon or Cherry Jones. Visually it also looks real neat.

I'm not saying it's perfect of course, spontaneous moments of everyone dancing is still yet to work on me, though it is a pleasant watch all in all - with added meaning. Judge for yourself, but I personally think it is more than up to the mark. A clear-cut 8/10 for me.… Expand

The cinematography is aesthetically pleasing and well-done, from the camera twirls and zooms to the redwood trees that envelop most of the locations. Bereavement, coming to terms with loss and teenage angst as its central themes keep it emotionally charged, and are well portrayed by the protagonist (Grace Kaufman). Even though the plot may feel muddled sometimes, and the progression may seem stunted, it is a very enjoyable movie with important lessons to be learnt.… Expand

I'm sorry but the main love interests voice was in such stark contrast to his appearance I was thrown off and could focus on nothing else. Seemed like a decent film.

Basicamente temos dois filmes aqui: um sobre o luto (o filme começa de forma excepcional, mostrando duas irmãs, e uma delas morre), e outro sobre um triângulo amoroso no qual um dos rapazes era namorado da irmã falecida.
Há algumas passagensBasicamente temos dois filmes aqui: um sobre o luto (o filme começa de forma excepcional, mostrando duas irmãs, e uma delas morre), e outro sobre um triângulo amoroso no qual um dos rapazes era namorado da irmã falecida.
Há algumas passagens líricas, como as flores que aumentam de tamanho, as flutuações, o tempo que para. A irmã que não morrera encarna muito bem a personagem, meio confusa, explosiva às vezes. Mas as cenas na escola são realmente muito mal feitas, veja por exemplo a disputa na banda pela primeira fila do clarinete, a rival dela é forçada, esteriotipada, não leva o filme a lugar nenhum, além de cenas muito rápidas, assim como a amiga japonesa dela.
De todo o modo, a garota é meio surtada, e ela precisava na verdade de uma terapia, e não de um romance. Veja, é óbvio que o luto é muito particular, mas aqui parece ser muito banalizado, talvez no livro haja a densidade necessária. Ficou parecendo que os hormônios tomaram o lugar das lágrimas, e se não fosse o plano de fundo da superação de uma perda, estaríamos diante de uma comédia romântica tola. Poderia ser mais.… Expand
