![]() ![]() Fanning’s talent is matched with the energetic Justice Smith. Without Fanning, the film would feel even more shallow than it already did. She makes Violet’s character feel familiar, as if we already know her. Luckily, that comes in the form of Violet Markey (Elle Fanning). Since All the Bright Places already puts off its audience with its rushed pace, it is important that the audience has something with which to quickly identify. With that being said, it should be enjoyable for those who have read the book, but may leave newcomers to this story puzzled. ![]() The movie tries to encapsulate all the beauty and insight of the book, but it is incapable of delivering the story in its entirety. The novel and the film share the same name but the film lacks the emotional depth found in the text. The story explores the painful lives of two young high schoolers, Violet Markey and Theodore Finch, as they bond together in efforts to better navigate through their own turmoil. This film is an adaptation of the New York Times best-seller YA novel, All the Bright Places, written by Jennifer Niven. All the Bright Places finds success on the shelves but not on the screen. ![]()
