Critics Sentiment
Lennie and Joe share a magical musical moment in the redwood forest
Spontaneous dance numbers interrupt the dramatic narrative flow
The film swings from its highest point during the magical woods music scene to its lowest during the jarring dance sequences, a 3.2 point drop.
The Sky Is Everywhere receives mixed reception, with critics praising Grace Kaufman's authentic grief performance and the beautiful musical moments, particularly scenes in the redwood forest. However, reviewers were divided on Josephine Decker's whimsical directorial choices, with some finding the spontaneous dance numbers and romantic subplot timing problematic. The film succeeds in its visual artistry and emotional authenticity but struggles with tonal consistency and narrative pacing.
