Isabela Merced as Aza Holmes, looking intensely towards the camera at a painting in Turtles All the Way Down
The Big Picture Since his first novel released in 2005, author John Green has demonstrated a passion for making teenagers feel seen and valued for all of their complexities. Never underestimating their intelligence, Green has been penning philosophical, wildly eloquent youths for nearly twenty years, and Turtles All the Way Down is but his latest successful YA novel — and latest batch of loveable teens — to be adapted for the silver screen.
Part mystery, part romance, part Applebee's commercial , Turtles All the Way Down is a reminder that we are so much more than our least favorite parts of ourselves and that the right people will love us for exactly who we are. Isabela Merced Gives a Career-Defining Performance in 'Turtles All the Way Down' The entire cast of Turtles All the Way Down brings something distinct and wonderful to the movie. However, with her performance as Aza, Merced draws you in with a remarkable range, able to warm your heart one moment and crush it the next.
However, the portrayal of Aza’s anxiety throughout Turtles All the Way Down is something of a double-edged sword. There are long stretches of the film where we’re given none of the visual or auditory clues that Aza’s stuck in a thought spiral at all, so for an audience member, there are moments in the movie where you might forget about her illness altogether.
