Quote:
"Credit [...] goes to director Stella Meghie, who rises from her 2016 debut, the self-penned indie Jean of the Joneses, to ace her first shot at the relative big time [with Everything, Everything]. She keeps the tone delicate and winsome and funny and sexy, and when the story line turns dumb in the final 30 minutes—it kind of has to—she keeps a straight face like a professional and gets everyone over the finish line unharmed. Meghie also observes the story's commitment to mixed-race characters and mixed-race romance without ever commenting on it, much as Nicola Yoon's book did."
