[Josephine Decker's] bold film grammar is innovative, in part, because Christian-Buddhism has never been taken seriously by a visual artist before.

Josephine Decker adapts Jandy Nelson’s young adult novel The Sky is Everywhere with its quips and trinkets attached, for better or worse (mainly for the latter).

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Feb 10, 2024

Unfortunately, The Sky Is Everywhere is another middling young adult novel adaptation that fails to pack the punch that it attempts. Though the story is lacklustre, it may be worth watching on a rainy day for its visuals and promising performances.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 25, 2023

The Sky is Everywhere is a soul-stirring movie about how young teenagers deal with losing a loved one.

| Jul 21, 2023

The moviemaker’s core ideals remain. Decker is committed to immersiveness and immediacy. Her bold and passionate choices value and validate the subjective experiences of female artists/creators toiling to figure it all out.

| Jun 13, 2023

An operatic, endlessly creative, and breathtaking visual poem of grief.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 5, 2022

Josephine Decker's experimental direction offers some stunning visuals, but they often feel at odds with Jandy Nelson's more grounded meditation on grief. And while Kaufman is charming, there's no chemistry among any of the characters in the love triangle

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 7, 2022

While the style and filmmaking ability of Josephine Decker still shines strong within The Sky Is Everywhere, the film is sadly quite underwhelming.

| Apr 3, 2022

The Sky Is Everywhere is a visual treat, soured by a complete lack of balance in the story structure, characterization, motivation, and pacing.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Mar 1, 2022

They say love can move mountains, but this one here is too inconsistent to prove it.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 1, 2022

Even at its cheesiest (and cringiest) moments, theres a core, uncynical tenderness to The Sky is Everywhere that makes it a worthwhile watch.

| Feb 27, 2022

While The Sky Is Everywhere can’t quite shed its YA origins, the tropes of the genre are expertly manicured by Decker’s prowess for striking imagery until they glow with a sleek art house patina.

| Original Score: B- | Feb 23, 2022

It doesn’t all stick, but Decker and Kaufman hold on to that internal grief and purr of hope that remains the film’s beating heart throughout.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 22, 2022

"Theres more than one kind of teenage heartbreak, Deckers latest ultimately proves."

| Feb 19, 2022

A cut above your average young adult romantic drama, this is a heartrending and emotional mediation on grief that also boasts believably awkward hormone-fuelled reactions and conversations.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 18, 2022

There are few limits for Lennie, Kaufman and Decker in this tender rebuke of cynicism: the results are swamping, endearing, fathoms of beauty. Too much is just right.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Feb 18, 2022

Its a combination of tragedy and romance, although 'The Sky is Everywhere' does a much better job with the former than the latter.

| Original Score: C+ | Feb 18, 2022

Coming of age is hard enough. Its even harder when you just lost your older sister.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 18, 2022

A quite simple story of a young girls grief thats smothered in a riot of overbearing imagery.

| Original Score: C | Feb 17, 2022

Despite her efforts, Josephine Decker’s YA film is blunt, overcrowded, and lost in near psychedelic brightness.
