Turtles All the Way Down

This one is one for the ages!!! I actually cried so much watching this movie mostly because of how true it is for people that suffer with OCD in forms like this and how if you really get into your head, it can feel like there's no escape... I absolutely loved this book, and the movie was also no exception... Aza and Daisy were portrayed exactly the way I expected them to be Isabella Merced deserves an award for her role!!! 👏👏👏

While Turtles All the Way Down deals with serious issues like grief and the toll of mental illness, Hannah Marks imbues the movie with such color and humor that the highs and lows feel even more powerful. Turtles All the Way Down tells a moving story about a teenager's isolating struggle with mental illness, and her resolve to build a life for herself despite it. The entire cast of Turtles All the Way Down brings something distinct and wonderful to the movie. However, Isabela Merced's performance as Aza will likely go down in the books as one of the most impressive of her career. The chemistry between Merced and Cree as Aza and Daisy is perhaps the film's greatest strength — and certainly its greatest love story. Their effortless comedy and obvious care for one another make the friendship feel totally believable, and it makes their fights all the more devastating.
