Analysis

Everything, Everything a novel adaptation of the same name written by J .Mills Goodloe has made a successful attempt in hooking the audience with the plot and Stella Meghie making no huge changes with the scenario of the novel. Stella Meghie along with Igor Jadue Lillo has carved out yet another super hit.

Performance

Amandla and Nick Robinson were the best - chosen celebrities to portray the characters of Maddy and Olly. Their chemistry together brings in all a whole different vibe within the plot. They seem to be victorious in bringing out the onscreen emotions of the characters which are truly the most appreciating work done by them.

What’s There?

1) A usual love story with a simple plot and the twist represented is done magnificently.

What's Not There?

1) Exaggeration of the supporting characters could have been minimized.

Verdict

The movie Everything Everything might not fulfill the agenda of bringing different genre people together. But this movie will definitely quench the thirst among people who still are looking forward to the concepts of true love.
