Turtles All the Way Down

"The Max adaptation of John Green’s 2017 novel ably handles the interior struggles of OCD, if not the threads of its plot (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)" 

"[It] combines everyday teenage concerns with profound psychological ailments. Plus: a peppy soundtrack" 

"Underneath its weaker spots, 'Turtles All the Way Down' is bolstered by genuine heart and an excellent central performance from Isabela Merced (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)" 

"[It] is the opposite of tired, certain to find an audience in its targeted teens and tweens and delight the minds and hearts of those who may suspect themselves too old for it (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)" 

"Marks and the young cast find the moments of joy among the hardships, and craft a charming, original coming-of-age story that can sit proudly in the pantheon of beloved YA fiction." 

"Isabela Merced anchors an uneven but touching John Green adaptation" 

"A visceral depiction of life with OCD (...) Like in Green's novel, 'Turtles All the Way Down' makes sure you're in Aza's head for every step of her journey." 

"My selfish wish was that this film could be what the book already was - a cipher to which to point friends, family and therapists - without the commitment of reading an entire book (...) I’ll have to live with all the empathy of a two-hour commitment."
