The Reviews Are In!

"I sobbed the whole damn time"

"The Turtles All The Way Down movie shows that it's possible to portray people with mental illness living fulfilling lives and being loved without being "cured". It is so raw and yet so tender while staying true to its YA roots. I give TATWD 5 stars."

"this film has made me feel so much less alone and comforted in a way that i've never felt because of how inherently isolating/internal spirals are...to be as hilarious as it is at the same time is amazing"

"my friend got the WORST sunburn waiting in line and said it was still worth the wait"

"what I love most is how it captures the hope on the other side of that. People struggling with mental illness CAN be loved. They CAN have fulfilling lives. Your now is not your forever. I loved the book but now that quote has finally clicked in my head."

"I feel seen and I feel like I can show this to my parents and say 'this is what living in my head is like.'"

"john's cameo was the worst part of the turtles movie, which is really a compliment given that he is one of my favorite people in the world."
