Turtles All the Way Down (2024)
Directed by Hannah Marks this film based on the novel of the same name stars Isabela Merced, Cree, Felix Mallard and Maliq Johnson. A highschooler living with OCD reconnects with an old friend after his father goes missing.
I have to admit I have not read the novel the film is based on but anyone familiar with writer John Green will spot a lot of common elements with his other work. The best part of the film is the way it brings OCD to the screen in a human way without it being a gimmick as so often the case in cinema. Manages to rise above the genre elements thanks to the focus on mental health.
4/5
