Every Day 2018

     This film is based a New York Times bestselling book written by David Levithan.  Rhiannon is a 16-year old high school girl.  She falls in love with a mysterious soul named A.  This person inhabits a different body every day.  Rhiannon and A feel an unmatched connection.  They work each day to find each other and they don’t know what the next day will bring.  A believes Rhiannon should find someone that is the same person every day and not a different person that she has to search for.

     It’s possible the book explains more fully the premise of being a different person every day?  There isn’t any explanation of why A is in a different body every day?  The message this film is trying to send is that it’s important to get to know people for the person they truly are inside.  The outside packaging is only superficial.  There were many times I wanted to turn this off and probably because of the young adult themes?  2 ½* (this movie is so-so)
