The movie is sympathetic and well-meaning but also honest. The story takes a delicate and earnest look at teen mental health, grief, and suicide through the unlikely friendship/romance of two young people in very difficult places. It’s directed by Brett Haley from a screenplay written by Niven and Liz Hannah.
The movie is an adaptation of Jennifer Niven’s 2015 young adult novel.
Too often they mimic other movies or follow all-too-familiar formulas. The new Netflix original “All the Bright Places” does a little of both. But at its heart lies a thoughtful story about the teen experience that deals with weighty issues and has the guts to stick with its convictions. Teen dramas are a dime a dozen and finding a fresh one out of the enormous batch isn’t always an easy thing.
