Natalia Winkelman

Feb 10, 2022

Too many works aimed at younger age groups ooze with sentimentality or buckle under a condescending tone. Here, in figurative voice-over full of imagery, we receive Lennie’s unbridled imagination and worldview. Read full review

Lennie’s is not the only growth rippling beneath the surface of The Sky Is Everywhere. Although the film contains elements of Decker’s signature directorial style, it also reflects her attempts to evolve on a slightly different path. She’s having fun, and it shows. Read full review

Cassie da Costa

That Decker is able to transmit a deep and compelling curiosity about this journey through each and every image is reason enough to follow a deeply familiar and sometimes overearnest plot. Read full review

The Playlist Marya E. Gates

Feb 10, 2022

The story beats are predictable, but Decker forges her own unruly and unforgettable path through them, crafting a teen film with avant-garde flourishes that attempt to find a balance between style and substance. Read full review

Movie Nation Roger Moore

Feb 10, 2022

And our child-actress-turned-young adult girl-next-door lead makes this flawed heroine sympathetic enough that she wears you down even as the movie around her sometimes just wears you out. Read full review

The Film Stage Jordan Raup

Feb 10, 2022

The Sky Is Everywhere is certainly a delight to behold; one just wishes Nelson mined a bit deeper in the adaptation process, pulling back on trite verbosity and letting Decker’s fanciful, psychologically striking vision do the talking. Read full review

The Sky Is Everywhere may be a visual treat, but it's soured by a complete lack of balance in the story structure, characterization, motivation, and pacing. Read full review
