A ridiculous third-act reveal undermines this sappy but sweet romance between a girl with a rare immune disorder and the new boy next door.

Everything, Everything
A teenager who's lived a sheltered life because she's allergic to everything falls for the boy next door in this drama based on the novel by Nicola Yoon.
Everything, Everything tells the unlikely love story of Maddy (Amandla Stenberg, The Hunger Games), 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 (Nick Robinson, Jurassic World), 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.

Time Out
You'd have to be very young and naive not to see the twist coming, but perhaps that is the point.

With a pair of irresistible leads and a straightforward love-overcomes-adversity story, "Everything, Everything" scores a direct hit on the teenage-girl market. Others might find it pretty enjoyable as well.

Everything, Everything is caught in a trap where it doesn't commit to fleshing out the implications of its premise but doesn't have the tools to survive without it.

Los Angeles Times
Stenberg's relaxed charisma carries what is a rather preposterous premise... Aside from its leading lady, what "Everything, Everything" has going for it is its light, fantastical aesthetic and unexpected sense of buoyancy.

While the young-love melodrama isn't about to entice older viewers, the target audience will swoon.
