Todo, todo 

The movie is really not a big box of surprises, the movie has a tendency to tell us very quick what is his message and the storytelling is simple to read.

Maddy, the girl who is sick is played by Amanda Stenberg. She is performing that isolated girl in a good way. Maddy herself likes to do reviews about books and contacts also other members of her groups. She likes to model, but she feels, that there must be more in her life. Because of the Internet she is not going out very often, but one day she will. She is good in performing feelings and especially when she meets Olly played by Nick Robinson her world changes. Olly is a smart guy and he wants to get to know to her. There is a special connection immediately between them and this might lead to the problem that it is somehow non real because it does not happen often and we might not be familiar with that kind of love which grows fast, maybe too fast. But I will leave this to you, you should find your own point of view here in that movie, and this is the one and only message of that movie, which is also the biggest problem. Since there is only one topic the movie is talking about it makes you tired somehow and you might loose your interests in watching it.

There are a huge contrasts in that movie and the camera is good support for that. We have a nice setting, Maddy's home but also her dreams are shown on the screen. This setting is very clean and the camera is alive and tries not to be too wild and full of love because we should not forget that Maddy is sick, what kind of sickness she has I cannot tell you.

The music is nice and full of love. The effects are good.

The movie is good, but we know the message and the storytelling is easy to read. I liked the acting and transportation of emotions. But as I said it has this big problem, and the movie does not try to be too much dramatic. It is simple but full of love, but there could be more pointers of the problems the families have to face and this could be much more better if there were those pointing.

This brings me to the final results which are 

7/10 points for the genre

6/10 overall

and so it might be a movie which is okay and maybe something you can collect on DVD later. This is the end of my short review of Everything, Everything in cinemas now.

Thanks for reading and have fun watching movies.
