10 Best Movies Like The Sky Is Everywhere | Screen Rant
Trigger Warning: Mention Of Grief, Loss And Mental Health
The Sky Is Everywhere is due to be released this Valentine's Day weekend and contains themes like grief, whilst also having what looks like a great romance story running throughout. The anticipated book adaptation is expected to have a heartwarming storyline complemented by a wonderful soundtrack which has been hinted at through the movie's interesting trailer.
For lovers of the book, this movie will definitely bring to life the characters fans grew to love but until its release on Friday, there are some other movies that are guaranteed to make you feel all of the emotions that The Sky Is Everywhere will. From the loss of a sibling to navigating the transition from childhood to adulthood, here are just ten movies that will make you both laugh and cry.
The Sky Is Everywhere is expected to be a new coming of age flick that seeks to give a true insight into the inner workings of a teenager's brain and Booksmart is just another movie that achieved this within its 1 hour and 42-minute runtime. The movie follows two girls who are seemingly trying to come to terms with the end of high school before going on one last adventure to prove they didn't dedicate too much time to studying.
The movie has an underlying focus on friendship and even has sub-themes regarding the LGBTQIA community and adulthood, making it a highly refreshing watch. Whilst the movie doesn't focus on grief, it does focus on change and the inevitable goodbyes that occur throughout life, which is just one reason it is similar to The Sky Is Everywhere.
Bridge To Terabithia may cater to a slightly lower demographic than The Sky Is Everywhere but its overall message remains the same. Through vibrant coloring and a woodland setting, the two movies contain some seriously incredible cinematography that give off an autumnal vibe.
Bridge To Terabithia is an unexpectedly heartbreaking movie that gives no warning to the grief that viewers will face when watching, unlike The Sky Is Everywhere. Both movies adopt a somewhat mystical vibe alongside a great soundtrack to create a wonderful coming of age that is whimsical and heartwarming in nature.
If I Stay is another book-to-movie adaptation that left fans sobbing after watching it. The movie is unique in its representation of grief through its first-person narrative that sees Chloe who is in a coma watch life move on without her, whilst simultaneously deciding whether or not to join her parents in heaven or stay.
The movie is heart-wrenching and guaranteed to have even the toughest of fans holding back tears. But, it also offers comfort for some viewers who may be experiencing grief through its representation of heaven and Chloe's choice to stay or leave. It offers a different theory into the idea of an after life, one that viewers can find peace in, knowing that their loved one chose tranquility.
To All The Boys: P.S. I Still Love You is another cute teen rom-com to watch this Valentine's Day. Based on the book series To All The Boys I've Loved Before, this second installment introduced viewers to John Ambrose (Lara's 2nd love interest). The movie gave viewers two interesting but different love interests that fans couldn't help but root for, prompting the question: were fans team John or team Peter?
The movie ultimately gave fans the love story they wanted whilst also having a series of prominent references to Lara and the grief she had regarding the loss of her mum. The movie was particularly good in capturing life after the loss of a loved one whilst also making fans envy the ever-growing wardrobe of Lara Jean.
Set in a wooded lakeside area, Charlie St. Cloud doesn't only have a similar setting to The Sky Is Everywhere but also a similar plot. Charlie loses his little brother in a boating accident and has to decide whether to move forward in life or stay within the past to remember his brother.
The story tackles sibling loss very delicately and even offers comfort to those who have lost loved ones through its idea of letting them go in order to move forward in life which is what they would want. The movie's introduction of romance is what finally cements Charlie's need to move forward and offers a heartwarming piece of advice for anyone grieving: just because they aren't physically there anymore doesn't mean they aren't remembered.
The Fault In Our Stars is another teen movie to watch this Valentine's Day but make sure to have a box of tissues at the ready. The movie has one of the greatest meet cues of all time and the relationship between Hazel and Gus may have limited time but fills life to the very max.
The Fault in Our Stars is a coming of age movie that teaches viewers about two main elements of life: grief and love. Hazel and Gus might have a great love story that unfortunately is cut short when Gus dies. But as recognized in the trailer of The Sky Is Everywhere, "grief and love, I don't think we get one without the other" and that can certainly be said for this rom-com.
Starring Jaden Smith and Cara Delevingne, Life In A Year tells the tale of a teen whose girlfriend is dying of cancer but seeks to fill her final year of life with adventure. The movie's fundamentally sad ending is excused by the scenes between the beginning and end which make the movie such a great watch for someone coming to terms with a loved one being sick.
The movie provides an insight into the grieving process before a loss and just how fragile life is, it prompts its viewers to fill every day with memories and never take life for granted. Life In A Year is a poignant movie that combines romance with some other sensitive topics to create an intimate coming-of-age flick.
Through interesting cinematography and a heavy focus on music, The Sun Is Also A Star conveys a story of chance and unlikely friendship. The movie showcases the role of love in helping someone to find their place in this world and remain true to themselves. It strays away from codependency and instead shows what people can do when they step out of their comfort zone.
The karaoke scene is a particularly interesting one where the blossoming romance between heartless romantic Daniel and cynical Natasha, begins to take form due to their love of life and music. It is a movie that makes viewers want to get out and explore the world or at least the world free from responsibilities.
The movie adaption of All The Bright Places left many book fans declaring they knew more than the average viewer but despite what some bookworms said, the movie's overall plot remained pretty close to the book. The movie follows Violet who recently lost her sister and Theodore, a quirky individual that befriends Violet against her will.
All The Bright Places is a perfect representation of grief as well as mental health when the pair travel around Indiana to visit hidden gems. The story of Theodore and Violet may end in tragedy but Theodore taught Violet how to feel again whilst also encouraging her to express her vulnerabilities which is why it's such a stellar movie.
Everything, Everything is a unique coming-of-age movie that offers an unusual story of romance and illness. The movie is a great love story of kindness, risk, and patience, Maddy suffers from an autoimmune disease but soon finds herself in love with her next-door neighbor.
Maddy decides to take control of her own life rather than spending eternity inside. The movie's main message explains that everyone is in charge of their own life and therefore they are responsible for how they spend it. The movie teaches viewers that life is too short to spend consumed with the past and pushes fans to go and experience everything, absolutely everything.
