"THE SKY IS EVERYWHERE " Is it worth watching
The sky is everywhere was first a book written by jandy Nelson in 2010. It gained attention among readers for it's unique plot and like all great novels was later adapted into a movie.

The movie follows the story of Lennie walker played by grace Kaufman as she battles with the grief of losing her older sister in a sudden yet expected way.
The plot is impressively written. It wasn't too excessive or too bland with the story telling, it just deals with the stage of grief that most people don't want to go through which is accepting that they are gone and you have to move on with your life inevitably.
There is a scene that shows lennie laughing with her friends and her uncle and when she takes a bite of the sandwich, for the first time since her sister died she could actually taste food
" It's too soon to taste like ashes" she had said.
The hardest part about losing someone really close to you is moving on and being happy without them. There's always this feeling of guilt, like happiness shouldn't be yours and it should never be. You tend to walk on eggshells with everyone around you and sometimes when you catch yourself unconsciously smiling, you feel like you have done something wrong.
Lennie goes through that in the movie, she feels that happiness is something she cannot and shouldn't have and that life without her sister shouldn't exist.losing her sister meant losing everything including her ability to play music.

We watch in the movie as Lennie navigates her life and emotions without her other half and then comes Joe, Lennie's love interest. dealing with her grief she ends up somehow kissing her dead sister's boyfriend when she clearly had feelings for another. I guess Grief resurrects the dead part of you.
We see I the movie that most of Lennie's happy moment post her sisters death happen around a certain rose bush that she later plucks off to give to Joe as an apology for breaking his heart.
The rose bush is used as a metaphor in the movie that each viewer can describe differently. For me it meant life can have torns that hurt you and make you bleed but that doesn't make it anyless beautiful, it is life after all.
Grief is a house that blows into the air at the slightest gust
Grief is a house where the chairs have forgotten how to hold us, the mirrors how to reflect us
Grief is a house that disappears each to someone knocks at the door, that buries itself into the ground while everyone is sleeping
Grief is a house where the younger sister grows older than the older one.

I watched this movie and I didnt really fall in love with it, it's definitely not my kind of movie. Just my opinion tho, but in all, I think it was a nice movie and I recommend it
