TheSkyIsEverywhere Review: Pretty To Look At, But A Pain To Watch
Josephine Decker's The Sky Is Everywhere is inventive, whimsical and vibrant. Unfortunately, the movie buckles under the weight of its own self-indulgent exuberance. The romantic drama, based on the YA novel of the same name by Jandy Nelson, is all style and no substance. Although the mise-en-scène reflects the unique eye of the director, and there are isolated moments that are truly compelling, the overall picture falls flat.
While Decker's expressive, fantastical scenes are visually interesting, they aren't supported by a basic story structure, rendering the moments inconsequential and, at times, confusing, garish, or awkward. The pacing in The Sky Is Everywhere is dizzying. The character interactions often feel rushed, and the motivations are non-existent. Lennie, in particular, has abrupt emotional heel-turns that come out of nowhere, largely because the scenes feel so truncated.
