Review of The Sky Is Everywhere (2022) by Moviemitch96 — 12 Feb 2022

Directed by Josephine Decker and based off the YA novel of the same name and adapted for the screen by the author herself Jandy Nelson, Lennie (Grace Kaufman) comes of age and tries to find herself after coping with the loss of her sister, as well as dealing with love.

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.
