“Risk everything… for love.”
Here’s what the distributor says about their film: “What if you couldn’t touch anything in the outside world? Never breathe in the fresh air, feel the sun warm your face… or kiss the boy next door? “Everything, Everything” tells the unlikely love story of Maddy, a smart, curious and imaginative 18-year-old who due to an illness cannot leave the protection of the hermetically sealed environment within her house, and Olly, the boy next door who won’t let that stop them.
Maddy is desperate to experience the much more stimulating outside world, and the promise of her first romance. Gazing through windows and talking only through texts, she and Olly form a deep bond that leads them to risk everything to be together… even if it means losing everything.
The teen has severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), a rare disease that causes her to be ALLERGIC TO PRACTICALLY EVERYTHING. She's spent 17 years sheltered in her home, only seeing her mother (a physician who takes care of her) and her nurse, Carla.
But when a boy named Olly moves in next door, Maddy begins to fall in love.
Based on the bestselling young adult novel by Nicola Yoon.”

This movie is a reminder of all the many things in our world that we take for granted on a daily basis, and what it would be like to experience these things for the first time. I had to rate it Average because of some overt sexuality and implied sex scene. There is also a mention that the “universe” controls their lives. There is virtually no swearing. I heard God’s name once and the sh-word once as well.
This movie is not for young children, but teens to adults. Keeping that in mind, it is a touching love story between two young adults.
