Aza (Isabela Merced), darkly beautiful and shy, find herself alone with Davis (Felix Mallard), a rich-kid dreamboat, at his family\u2019s woodside mansion. They\u2019re having a gentle conversation; the sparks are flying. As the music swells, you feel the time arrive for them to kiss. At which point we hear Aza\u2019s worried voice on the soundtrack saying, \u201cYou\u2019ll get his bacteria in your mouth. His bacteria will make you sick.\u201d Or as she puts it a little later to her psychiatrist (Poorna Jagannathan), \u201cHow can I have a boyfriend if I hate the idea of kissing him?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Obsessive-compulsive disorder can take many forms, and in \u201cTurtles All the Way Down,\u201d based on the hugely popular young-adult novel by John Green (\u201cThe Fault in Our Stars\u201d), it takes a rather classic one: Aza spends her entire existence terrified of germs \u2014 of contamination and infection. She has a callus on the inside of her middle finger, one that\u2019s been there for years. Every day, she tends it, provokes it, cultivates it; when her OCD gets intense enough, she\u2019ll prod it until it bleeds. That callus is the focal point of her anxiety. When she gives it a fresh Band-Aid, it\u2019s like a ritual that lets her think she\u2019s purged the poison. At the moments when her mania is out of control, she tries to \u201ckill the infection\u201d by consuming hand sanitizer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Yet Aza\u2019s disorder isn\u2019t merely a fear of contamination. As she explains to us, it has an existential dimension. Aza believe that because she\u2019s just an \u201corganism,\u201d with a body full of microbes, all of which have the potential to contaminate her, her self isn\u2019t really under her control. So in a way, she has no self. The demon of OCD feels like it has a more controlling identity than she does.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    That may sound like a rather heavy burden to anchor a teenage love story. But young-adult fiction is full of tragic illness, terrible accidents, and other catastrophes. So why not OCD? There are times when \u201cTurtles All the Way Down\u201d is like a teen horror movie. (Aza\u2019s voiceover monologues are accompanied by magnified images of microbes, which loom up like monsters.) Part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>eal of YA fiction is that it takes ordinary adolescent anxiety and uses over-the-top concrete terrors to blow it up to billboard size. You might say that Aza\u2019s OCD is a metaphor for adolescence, as Aza tries to gain some sort of control over what\u2019s happening inside her.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    But you don\u2019t need to read it that way, since OCD isn\u2019t <em>only <\/em>a metaphor. It\u2019s a syndrome that exists. \u201cTurtles All the Way Down\u201d makes Aza\u2019s OCD just specific enough to draw us in, then deals with it in a way that\u2019s just manipulative and sugar-coated enough to leave us thinking, \u201cYep, it\u2019s another YA movie.\u201d This one, directed by Hannah Marks, isn\u2019t badly done, yet the film is as reassuringly formulaic in its use of OCD as Aza is ritualistic when it comes to dealing with it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    At heart, \u201cTurtles All the Way Down\u201d is a teen romantic fantasy about not having enough daddy love. Aza\u2019s father died of natural causes when she was very young, and she connects with Davis, who she knew as a little kid, after his own billionaire father mysteriously disappears. As Davis, the Australian actor Felix Mallard comes on as a soft-edged preppie, with echoes of the young Leo, the young Robert Pattinson, the young James Spader minus the reticence. His Davis\u00a0always has the perfect (empathetic) (witty) (non-mansplaining) thing to say.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    That makes him a soothing suitor for Aza, who Isabala Merced invests with a forlorn agitation that\u2019s convincing enough, but never too messy. The film\u2019s most authentic performance is given by Cree Cicchino, who plays Aza\u2019s perky lifelong friend, Daisy, a magenta-haired writer of \u201cStar Wars\u201d fan fiction. She seems, for a while, like a cookie-cutter supportive bestie, but when her real thoughts about Aza come out (how difficult it is to be friends with her), the film hits a note of something genuine and even a touch daring: the self-centeredness that can result from dealing with a mental disorder.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    But if the film, for a moment, looks like it\u2019s trying to be realistic about a problem this chronic, how can it have the happy ending a YA movie requires? \u201cTurtles All the Way Down\u201d has its own quirky one, in which Daisy <em>predicts<\/em> that Aza is going to have a nice life, and we see it played out as feel-good reality. That\u2019s all a bit much, though it\u2019s a fitting wrap-up for a movie that feels, by the end, like it wants to be called \u201cGerms of Endearment.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
