Erin Allen
It's rare for a film adaptation to overcome "the book is better" pitfall, and All the Bright Places is not one of those rare cases. Although, it is a decent film with many rewarding elements.

I Am Mother offers some interesting social commentary on the idea of motherhood but stops just short of making its point.
