Director Stella Meghie’s Everything, Everything is
a charming love story about an eighteen-year-old girl (Amandla Stenberg), who
has had to live in a controlled environment all her life due to a deficiency in
her immune system that would imperil her living in the outside world.
When a handsome young man’s (Nick Robinson) family moves
in next door, her hormones go into hard drive and she begins to rebel against her
doctor mother’s (Anika Noni Rose) desire to keep her in isolation.
Screenwriter J. Mills Goodloe, who wrote the superb Age
of Adeline, has created a very interesting way of portraying a story
about characters in a claustrophobic situation by showing their dreams of what
might or should have been as they interact.
And, Meghie has done a fine job of drawing fine performances from her
actors.
Love is Everything, Everything and I give this
film a 4 out of 5.
