All the Bright Places is one of the best Netflix movies of 2020. The film premiered on Netflix in the springtime and was quite popular for a while.

The Netflix original movie is based on a book of the same name written by Jennifer Niven, who also co-wrote the screenplay for the film with Liz Hannah. The movie has an incredible cast led by Elle Fanning and Justice Smith, who also starred in Netflix’s The Get Down a few years ago.

In All the Bright Places, Violet, played by Elle Fanning, lost her sister in a car accident and has struggled since. Theodore, played by Justice Smith, is partnered with Violet for a school project. The teens strike up an unlikely friendship and romance while working on the project. It turns into something more.

All the Bright Places is quite a heavy watch. There might be some triggering moments for some viewers, so I just want to let you know before you dive into this Netflix movie.
