Critics Consensus

Though it at times buckles under the emotional weight of its source material, All The Bright Place succeeds on the strength of Elle Fanning and Justice Smith's charming and tender performances.

Its pure beating heart and humanistic undertones make it somewhat of a standout.

A refreshingly sober spin on YA romance.

3.5/5

And while the movie carries some of the lightweight genre appeal you would expect, “All the Bright Places” deserves credit for not just having serious intentions, but actually showing them on the screen.

Although [it] won't be an easy film to watch for people who are triggered by the same issues that the movie's teen characters are coping with, the intention is to help bring awareness to these issues so that people can get and give help in real life.

4.5/10

Ultimately, Violet and Finch never attain a living, breathing quality that moves beyond the page on which they were conceived, and that, my friends, is dark stuff indeed.

I was told to watch this movie and I thought it was going to be a cute movie with mental health. I was so wrong but it’s still an amazing movie

What stayed with me the most in All the Bright Places was that bridge scene, when Finch climbs up just to make Violet feel like she’s not alone anymore. Like he was saying, "We’re on the same page now… you don’t have to do this. If anything happens, I’m here." That scene felt so pure and comforting. What makes Finch such a heartbreaking character is how he keeps trying to make someone else’s life easier while silently fighting his own battles. The pressure from his parents, the loneliness, the chaos in his mind, yet he still chose kindness. The movie quietly tells us that sometimes bravery comes from simply knowing someone is standing beside us. And the ending… it wasn’t a happy ending in the usual way. He disappeared from her life without warning, but somehow he still changed her forever. He helped Violet become brave again, see life as something beautiful, and truly live it fully. Some people don’t stay forever, but they leave parts of themselves in us that do.

One of the most touching movies I have seen. For me its a must watch and i would recommend it to everyone. As someone who doesn't cry to movies and TV shows i can tell you i poured rain after watching this. Also as a teen it really helped me understand some things. If you have seen "One day" you will definitely like it. A really deep and touching story at the same time. I don't have any more words how to describe it. Would watch it again like thousand times!
