‘All The Bright Places’ shines a light on mental illness like never before

Madeline Armstrong March 11, 2020

Netflix’s new release, “All The Bright Places,” an adaption of Jennifer Niven’s novel, attempts to tackle the mental illness and teenage struggles addressed by the original novel with accuracy and depth. Violet Markey (Elle Fanning) and Theodore Finch (Justice Smith) meet on a ledge, both literally and figuratively. Both on the brink of desperation, they meet standing on a bridge. Violet lost her sister in a car accident months prior and doesn’t know how to move on, while Theodore, or “Finch,” has been struggling with the wretched deal that was dealt to him.
