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.

This would have been so much better without the teen movie cliches.

A funny, relatable, informative, and thoughtful coming-of-age flick with some great visuals to represent mental health. Isabela Merced was intense and fully engaged in wanting to show how people react to certain situations brought upon them. From family and friends to lovers and idols. The dialogue was a huge letdown and made it feel clunky. Some scenes had me giggling and weeping and others cringing and coping. The soundtrack was banging, the cinematography was great, and the pacing of the story felt like the best worst day.

i enjoyed it but personally not a cree fan

I read the book, but I think I actually liked the movie even more. It’s an amazing adaptation. The actors fit perfectly, the acting was on point, and I really loved the music. I also appreciated that they kept so many lines from the book. My only downside is that, just like in the book, I don’t like how the story evolves after [spoiler]the car accident[/spoiler]… but that’s just how it is. I also see parts of myself in Aza, and it’s cool to know many others do too, it just shows we're all human.
