Any discussion about these particular topics is complicated and difficult, and I feel that there are parts of this movie that could be taken in an unhealthy way. At some point along the way, though, those messages get a little mixed up. Mental health, grief, and suicide are topics that should be discussed and explored with teenagers, and the first half of this film does a really good job with that. The characters of Violet and Finch feel relatable and the themes are timely and relevant. The first half of this movie I really enjoyed. I must disclose that I have not read the book, or even heard of it before seeing this movie, therefore I cannot speak to how faithful the film adaptation is, though I’m sure there are many fans already out there already screaming about it. As they work through their own past traumas and scars, they learn to find joy and meaning in even the smallest moments.Īll the Bright Places is based on a bestselling novel by Jennifer Niven. When given a class assignment to find local wonders, the two become close friends. Violet Markey (Elle Fanning) is grieving over the death of her sister when she meets Theodore Finch (Justice Smith), a classmate who others describe as a “freak”.
