Description: A desperate yearning for the ordinary, framed by extraordinary circumstances: that's the beating heart of *Everything, Everything*. This isn't just a teen romance; it's a poignant exploration of confinement – both physical and emotional – and the desperate, exhilarating push towards freedom. Maddy's world, meticulously controlled by her overprotective mother, explodes with color when Olly enters. The film masterfully balances the lightheartedness of first love with the weighty reality of Maddy’s illness, forcing us to confront our own limitations and desires for connection. While the plot might feel familiar, the emotional resonance is undeniable, leaving a lingering sweetness tinged with bittersweet melancholy. A must-watch for anyone who's ever yearned for a life beyond the confines of their own reality.
