That movie is the romance drama "Turtles All the Way Down," based on John Green's novel of the same name. Starring Isabella Merced, who is well known for her roles in films such as "Dora and the Lost Gold Country," "Madame Webb," and "Instant Family," the film is based on the novel of the same name by John Green. She also appears in the upcoming horror project "Alien: Romulus," leaving no doubt as to her talent. In fact, critics who have seen early screenings of the film have praised Merced highly.

If you've seen this film appear on Max, you may be wondering if it's worth your time. I will discuss "Turtles All the Way Down" in detail here and reveal what the critics have to say about it.

"Turtles All the Way Down" focuses on 16-year-old Aza Holmes (Isabella Merced), who suffers from OCD. She is trying to be a good person while learning and coping with a myriad of obsessions over which she has no control. The endless battles in her own head make it more difficult for her to live life to the fullest.

The film highlights the struggles of a teenager with OCD and anxiety disorders. She may look like a normal girl on the outside, but on the inside she is ruled by irritable and unpleasant thoughts.

However, when she is reunited with Davis (Felix Mallard), whom she had feelings for as a child, she has a chance to grow in love and happiness. However, her constant struggle with her mental state threatens to destroy everything positive in her life, including friendship, hope, and love.

"Turtles All the Way Down" has a 92% freshness rating and 97% audience rating (as of May 3) on Rotten Tomatoes. These scores are really good for a film that has just landed on streaming platforms.

Says indieWire's Kate Urbrand: "Be a teenager. Not for the faint of heart. Be a green teen. At least someone treats you like an adult. Green's latest film, Turtles All the Way Down, is another fine example of that mindset and its power." Meanwhile, Adrian Horton of The Guardian praised the film for "succeeding in bridging the vastness of high school life and the trivialities of everyday life in a relatively brilliant way."

Many critics praised the film for its accurate portrayal of OCD and Merced's raw performance. Jennifer Green of Common Sense Media says: "Based on the novel by popular author John Green, the drama is an emotional portrayal of mental illness, and its young protagonists portray teenage adolescence in a very sympathetic way.

Not all critics, however, liked the film; Autumn Wright of Paste magazine wrote: "The script always rushes to return to a basic humorous tone."

According to the critics' praise, yes, you really should be streaming Turtles All the Way Down. The film accurately portrays OCD and anxiety, and Merced fits the role perfectly. She was able to capture the inner conflict of her mental state and show it on screen as she navigated a new romance with her childhood sweetheart.

John Green is one of the most famous writers whose own work has become critically acclaimed films and television shows. For example, The Fault in Our Stars, Paper Towns, and Looking for Alaska. If you have seen these and would like to see another young adult drama, do not hesitate to add "Turtles All the Way Down" to your list. You don't have to be familiar with John Green or his past work to enjoy his latest hits on Max.

"Turtles All the Way Down" is available on Max. There is also a guide to new shows and movies to watch this month.
