The sky is everywhere 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.

Puntos por creatividad.

The script is too cliché to offer anything impactful, but the main performance is really solid and heartfelt.

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.

I liked some aspects of this film but for the most part, I didn't feel too emotionally invested in the characters, it has to be said. 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.

The struggle for the loss of a loved one is complex and the film develops it in an interesting way through the protagonist. unnecessary scenes, many clichés and emotional difficulties throughout the story. The most outstanding thing is definitely the soundtrack and sound effects present in the film.

The sky is everywhere: a fairy tale, an idyllic and timeless story in a colorful and imaginative world. Wonderful!!!

"The Sky Is Everywhere" has an interesting visual aesthetic which makes it somewhat interesting. However, it's not enough for me to consider it a good movie. I think the movie tackles grief in a way that makes sense, but it is just so bleak and boring all the way through. I never found myself particularly invested in the characters and didn't feel as emotionally connected as I should have. The movie drags on and it is much shorter than it feels like while watching it. Overall, I think this is a young adult romance misfire and one of the weaker entries in the genre I have seen in some time.

IN A NUTSHELL: Based on the popular book by Jandy Nelson, this coming-of-age teen romance features a funny and whimsical perspective on death, grief, and life. Tucked among the magical redwood trees of Northern California and surrounded by her grandmother's gargantuan roses, 17-year-old Lennie Walker, a radiant musical prodigy, struggles with overwhelming grief following the sudden loss of her older sister, Bailey. When Joe Fontaine, the charismatic new guy at school, enters Lennie's life, she's drawn to him. But Lennie's complicated relationship with her sister's devastated boyfriend, Toby, starts to affect Lennie and Joe's budding love. Through her vivid imagination and honest, conflicted heart, Lennie navigates first love and first loss to create a song of her own. The sky IS everywhere. It begins at your feet. Get your tissues ready! If you're a teen, you might even experience some ugly crying. THINGS I LIKED: Director Josephine Decker seems to really understand her target audience. She captures the vitality of youth with her colorful imagery and language as she tells a heartbreaking story filled with joy. The young cast is really special. Grace Kaufman does an excellent job and shows an impressive amount of range. We're sure to see a lot more of her in future work. I adore Cherry Jones and Jason Segel. Their light personalities helped to balance all of the heavy drama. The fun score and musical accents are fantastic. Music is a powerful healing instrument and we get to hear some lovely pieces. I wish I had spent more time as a teenager developing musical talents. We get to spend time in one of California's magical forests. I love that in a movie about death and grief, we are surrounded by gorgeous gardens, the sounds of chirping birds, flowers, beautiful colors, and all kinds of nature. Nature is used as a symbol of healing in creative ways and could easily be called one of the characters in the cast. I got a kick out of the scene when Lennie is looking for a sign and all kinds of entertaining events are happening all around her without her seeing any of it. I love the blend of literature, music, fantasy, and inspirational images. There are some truly tender moments that will touch your heart. There are also some wise words that we can learn from. It's fun and even enlightening to visit the headspace of a teenager. It was perfect to illustrate the feeling of love with several images of floating because that's exactly what it feels like! THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE: There are some flashbacks that might confuse viewers with the timeline. The target audience is definitely Gen Z, so some adults might roll their eyes at all of the teenage angst and drama. Some viewers might get bored waiting for something "to happen" but you have to remember it's a journey through death and life. TIPS FOR PARENTS: Talk of death Some awkward conversations and sound effects about a certain mail anatomical body part Talk of intimate relations Kissing Love triangle Some "mild" profanity THEMES: Grief Celebration of life and wasting life Fear Cynicism Death and loss Romance and love Music Friendship Connection Forgiveness Joy You can see the full review on the Movie Review Mom YouTube channel at https://youtu.be/BqJEhG8yoXg

'The Sky is Everywhere' is a heartfelt and inventive portrayal of grief through color, music and romance.

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 '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 3½* for me.

Such an excellent work of art. Entertaining, deep, and beautiful. Highly recommend!

Beautifully shot, wonderfully imagined and incredibly moving. The actors are all amazing, especially Grace Kauffman. What a gem!!!

I thought it was pretty decent. Visually stunning and solid acting.

Huge fan of Josephine Decker and this movie is really magical. The themes of love and loss being intertwined are painted in gorgeous colors, and the actors are phenomenal. A work of art come to life, which is so interesting because of its exploration of life and death and how we must all come to terms with our short time on this planet. Loved it.

The Sky Is Everywhere is a very solid YA drama. I loved both Josephine Decker films I’ve seen. They are both very depressing and intense dramas, which is why I was surprised that she directed this. Thankfully, her style isn’t sacrificed here. Her direction is the best part. There were many stylish moments that stood out to me. I loved how the film tackles grief. It was handled very well, anchored by a strong lead performance by Grace Kaufman. The romance angle didn’t work as well but it wasn’t terrible. While most of the emotion in the film felt real, it did sometimes lean too much into over sentimentality. Still, most of it worked. Overall, I liked this. While I’d say it’s the weakest film from Decker I’ve seen it’s still a strong example of why she’s a great director. I look forward to whatever she does next!

A unique production that reflects Jandy Nelson's world and magical realism. Nature itself is one of the main protagonists (especially the Redwoods). The playful camera work was great - same goes for the editing and acting. The overcrowded color palette may be too much for some but for others an eye-feast. It was a smart choice to add comic relief throughout the movie as well as weird fairytale-like animal sounds. The only thing missing was the title quote from Nelson's book!
