But he's so bad at acting, I don't think he'd make the cut. 😅 The most I hope for is that they release an extra scene with John. Like a DVD extra or whatever is the streaming version of DVD extras nowadays.
Maybe, the real plot wasn't the mysterious disappear of a millionaire, but is was the mental health journey and friends we made along the way ... to solving the case of the disappearance of the missing millionaire, that is
I know people think anxious people want some kind of immovable reassurance, but anxious people want to actually be reassured that they won’t be anxious forever. When the guy says “it’s not forever, it’s now” it clicked to me. I’m hooked.
People with anxiety are all different, and not all of us want the same thing, let alone that. Not saying no anxious person wants that, and it's perfectly fine and valid if you personally do, but you shouldn't be trying to speak for all people with anxiety.
I'm not crying, you're crying. When this book came out I was a teenager newly diagnosed with OCD, afraid I would feel this way forever. I thought I would always be sad and anxious and alone. That I would never be capable of having a meaningful romantic relationship. Well just last week I was having a panic attack and my husband rested his head against mine just like Davis does to Aza at the end of this trailer and told me, "Your now is not your forever." (He has heard a LOT about John Green from me.) It's going to be so weird to watch this movie knowing how far I've come and that I started out just like Aza. Everybody told me it would get better but I didn't really believe them. Turtles All the Way Down, and John Green in general, was one of the things that gave me hope. It's my "An Imperial Affliction."
@@TheGoddon some “germaphobes” are that way because of OCD. The part that makes it OCD and not just a fear of germs is the way her thoughts are intrusive and repetitive.
@@upgradermunchkinBC the dad of the guy she ends up having a crush on is super rich and disappears without a trace, and aza and her crush end up growing closer in part because of her interest in his father's case.
How supportive her best friend is is making me cry. In those moments when we are stuck in a thought spiral all we wish for is for someone to break us out of it. Like her friend is doing for her. And to hear that we're not crazy or stupid or defect for having these unhelpful thoughts
Okay, but why is she me though, like that line where she said; “A lot of my thoughts don’t even feel like mine.” God I felt that can’t wait for this movie!!!
okay, I literally wasn't expecting to cry at this trailer and then her mom said "no matter how scared you are, you never stop trying." and now there are tears in my eyes at work. thanks, John.
Oh I can’t wait for this. My favorite John Green book. 😭 Non-readers are in for a loop when there’s a whole mystery element not even mentioned in the trailer though! 😂
im really happy for other generations that they get films like this for anxiety/OCD disorders. Im going to watch but having something like this as a teenager would have made me feel so seen.
This book changed my life. It helped me get diagnosed with OCD, something that I have struggled with my entire life. I am a better version of myself because I could see myself in Aza. Help and progress are possible.
This is releasing the day after the 9th anniversary of when I was released from the hospital after my OCD nearly took my life. 9 years later and I get to watch a story that hit me closer than Bette Davis' film Now, Voyager did. I have been waiting since day 1 of the book's release to show this to all who have not understood what it's like to live like this. (those who declined my offer to take one of my MANY copies) What a delight to see myself and those like me on screen in ways we never have before. Thank you so much, I can't wait!
Congratulations on your almost 9 year anniversary! 🎉 I also have OCD and I am so excited for this movie; I saw Now Voyageur a few years ago because Bette Davis was one of my favourite actresses and I related to it so much. What a wonderful movie! This looks so amazing too. ❤❤❤
I can't wait! The book helped me understand my daughter's anxiety disorder, and I hope it does the same for millions of others so we can continue to provide love and support to our loved ones.
This looks great! I'm slightly confused as to why we're acting like it's just a romance story, but I assume WB is doing that to try to get the people who have never read a John Green book and loved The Fault in Our Stars 😆
Yeah probably. But tbf, the book is mainly about aza's OCD and anxiety disorder, which is pretty clearly depicted in the trailer, with the mystery and romantic plot mostly serving as scaffolding for the main point of the story.
Yeah WB is just trying to appeal to the popular audience of romance viewers, hopefully the actual plot doesn’t change but I am a tad worried it will. Other than that looks fantastic
I mean, the trailer is interesting for sure would wanna watch it, but no i do not like fault in our stars or paper towns or any John Green's books (i purposely did not read them, feels overhyped, and when it's too crazed by the crowd i get turn off or delay much much much later before trying it)
It’s not being shown as just a romance story. It’s being show primarily as a friendship story. Her best friend has more screen time than the love interest.

I have loved John Green for so long and this book… by far one of my favorites. John has made me feel normal when I’m anything but and I can not wait for this movie. Congratulations John!
I LOVED this book when it first came out because it was the first time I had ever read an accurate representation of how anxiety manifests. It's funny because in the book it was never explicitly stated that she had OCD, so I didn't make the connection that I also had OCD until I was diagnosed YEARS later AND found out John Green revealed in the interview that the main character had OCD. I've read this book more times than I can count just because of how much it resonated with me. It made me feel seen and not so crazy. I even read parts of it to my husband to help him understand what my OCD spirals look and feel like. Really a life changing book for me. While I've been waiting for a movie adaption....I'm really scared this won't represent it right. First, WHERE THE HECK IS THE WHOLE MISSING PERSON PLOT?? I know it didn't have a HUGE bearing on the plot, but it was the driving force of the story. Also, they're playing it out as a really happy romance story, but it's not. Just because this book meant so much to me, I'm really scared how this will turn out. Guess we'll see on May 2nd.
This movie was so good , as someone with ADHD, OCD and recovered from a drug addiction this movie hit home so hard and I know what it is like to live in your head like that
As a person who just graduated high school - this movie is probably the most funny (in a non cringey way), relatable and heartfelt teen centred movie I've watched in a long time. I don't have OCD but the way the characters interact and responses are so reflective of how teens act these days. I actually laughed at the jokes and can feel what the characters are feeling because I have been in those situations before. Highly recommend.
at my lowest point, the way that this book described thought spirals and intrusive thoughts was one of a few important things that helped me figure out that I had OCD. for that, I can't express enough how thankful I am.
the book is amazing. i hope this movie will do justice to the book. and really really hope people don’t sleep on this adaptation like they did with looking for alaska. the fault and paper towns are huge hits for their adaptations but not alaska and it’s a crime. john’s adaptations are always precise. it’s his vision in the adaptation too.
I don't know if people are solely "sleeping". The fact that I have to get a different streaming service for both Alaska and Turtles was/is definitely an obstacle that TFIOS and Paper Towns didn't have. Different times.
I really love the “it’s now” sentiment…I read the book when it was released so I honestly don’t remember much but I do have anxiety spirals and it’s soooo hard to remember in the moment that it won’t be forever, and that my thoughts aren’t me, that they can lie
OH MY GOD! This looks so cute and so true to the book, I’m excited to see the tuatara and I think I might find my old copy and reread it before the movie comes out.
I’ve had untreated OCD since I was a kid but I got diagnosed within the past few days as I had an intense break down and I informed my doctor etc and was able to start treatment right away. John Green has always been one of my favorite people ever and I watched this movie alone first at 6AM because I knew I’d be triggered. I had to stop in between. I had to allow myself to cry. But my goodness did I feel the uttermost valued, seen, and understood. And Isabela absolutely destroyed this character ! She was incredible and the rest of the cast. I had my husband and one of my bestfriends watch it with me last night and they both cried as well and it opened up not just for them to understand but to look deep at things maybe they need to uncover. Being diagnosed with OCD and starting treatment and having to speak this outloud, it’s one of the hardest things I’ve had to do. But this movie has become such a support movie for me that I watch it out of just feeling so much love for knowing things can get better. The ending was absolutely crafted beautifully. There are so many things in this film that I love but I just adore Green. He’s a gem and we don’t deserve him by any means but I’m so proud of him for using his platform to speak about this condition and be able to challenge people to not look at OCD as this huge red flag of an illness but that were just trying to thrive in the midst of feeling like we are surviving. The flight or fight is hard. I was told that OCD is like tug of war hut we must win.
I have anxiety and ocd and been getting the help I needed for a month now and the improvement has really shown and seeing there's a movie about it really resonates with me
Turtles All The Way Down was the first piece of media I'd ever encountered that actually captured the experience of OCD. (Which makes sense, since the author has personal experience with it.) I'm looking forward to seeing this one!
Even though this is evidently a romance I’m actually really happy that there’s an adaptation of a story that is so character focussed and centralizes on the characters friendship I feel like in a lot of teen movies similar to this the best friend is someone that’s kind of off to the side and isn’t centralized or if they are it’s not in a positive way so this actually looks really good
It’s just a story where romance happens tbh. Likely being marketed to look more romance forward because peolle are drunk of bad hollow romances right now 😂 Gotta hook them into something good.
Wow! Isabela Merced is so talented and she is going to nail this role. I love her with Mark Wahlberg in Instant Family and Sweet Girl with Jason Momoa.
I SO BADLY hope that the movie is everything the book was and more! I ABSOLUTELY LOVEEEE John Green! He does such amazing work with his books and anything else he does and this book in particular was amazing in all aspects and I really hope that the movie reflects not only azas love life and mental illness… but also the main plot of the book, the mystery, and the adventure! ❤️
Max is so lucky (good at business?) to have this film straight to streaming, the numbers are going to show that this would have easily been a full theater release.
so excited for this movie! I loved the book and depicts ocd so well, obviously because John has ocd but gosh the representation is so important to me 🩷
The microcosmos recordings used for the thought spirals ☺️ this look very well cast so far and doesn't give away onw of the main plots. Tentatively excited!
I don’t have OCD, but when the woman said “No matter how scared you are, you never stop trying” tears came to my eyes. All my life my mind tried to convince me that the worst events would happen if I didn't follow its instructions and it was very very difficult to ignore those thoughts. I had forgotten how strong I was and I still am. Edit: today i was diagnosed with OCD :,)
I could recall all the places, moments and people..the underground stinky tunnel, the lake, his big house her bandaid, her friend with colorful hair who stained her shirt and what not. Surely surprised how they erased the missing billionaire plot. Let's hope for the best❤
I remember reading this book quite a few years ago when i was on my "read every single John Greene book out there" mission, but I think it had to do something with a missing person ..them crossing the lake on the boat reminded me of that ... And that's just about everything that i remember now lol
Everyone living with anxiety, OCDs etc feel actually seen right now. It doesn't seem to be such a complicated movie but the fact that they included someone with an anxiety disorder is a good change ! Also Felix Mallard seem to really enjoy being in stories with mental illnesses, it's nice having actors pursuing these type of stories.

The author is very vocal with having it so it probably is a big factor why it works
This is exactly how I felt watching it!
Have you read the book, it is equally excellent in it’s portrayal
Having OCD and actually seeing it on screen is so so nice. Mental health representation matters
And the fact that the author has been pretty open about his own struggles with OCD shows a desire to present an authentic representation!

It’s just a story where romance happens tbh. Likely being marketed to look more romance forward because peolle are drunk of bad hollow romances right now 😂 Gotta hook them into something good.
Wow! Isabela Merced is so talented and she is going to nail this role. I love her with Mark Wahlberg in Instant Family and Sweet Girl with Jason Momoa.
Already crying and it's only the trailer
OCD in a book and in a movie... needed this!
I SO BADLY hope that the movie is everything the book was and more! I ABSOLUTELY LOVEEEE John Green! He does such amazing work with his books and anything else he does and this book in particular was amazing in all aspects and I really hope that the movie reflects not only azas love life and mental illness… but also the main plot of the book, the mystery, and the adventure! ❤️
I’m glad they look like normal teens! Really cool casting!
I'm very glad to see they've included the bandaid on the finger.
I loved the book with my whole heart, and it helped me so much. I am so excited for the movie!
I absolutely love the way John Green writes complex female characters and how movie studios pick the perfect casting for them
music choice feels weird for this, but super excited for the movie. Will need to reread it before may
Max is so lucky (good at business?) to have this film straight to streaming, the numbers are going to show that this would have easily been a full theater release.
Were the bacteria videos taken from James’s germs?? That would be such a cool crossover
They were! John confirmed this
My heart! It felt like reading that precious book all over again!
Glad to see ocd represented in media. Looks like a good movie too!!
YES!!! It's here and it's gonna be awesome! I'm so glad they're giving me a month to reread the book
so excited for this movie! I loved the book and depicts ocd so well, obviously because John has ocd but gosh the representation is so important to me 🩷
The microcosmos recordings used for the thought spirals ☺️ this look very well cast so far and doesn't give away onw of the main plots. Tentatively excited!
Yes, I love this book, and the actors live up to the characters, at least for me.
This book had such a profound impact on me and it’s still in my top 10 after all these years. So excited to see it!!
Journey to the microcosmos went hard
I don’t have OCD, but when the woman said “No matter how scared you are, you never stop trying” tears came to my eyes.
All my life my mind tried to convince me that the worst events would happen if I didn't follow its instructions and it was very very difficult to ignore those thoughts. I had forgotten how strong I was and I still am.
Edit: today i was diagnosed with OCD :,)
She deserves The most supporting bestie award 🤍
john green just needs to become a screenwriter at this point lol
No Rey/Chewbacca fan-fic mentioned. If that is cut I will never emotionally recover

I could recall all the places, moments and people..the underground stinky tunnel, the lake, his big house her bandaid, her friend with colorful hair who stained her shirt and what not. Surely surprised how they erased the missing billionaire plot. Let's hope for the best❤
it's the journey to the microcosmos footage for me!
this actually looks quite well done
Was journey to the microcosmos Hank’s long game to get into one of John’s movies? It was the crossover I didn’t know I needed. 😂❤
I remember reading this book quite a few years ago when i was on my "read every single John Greene book out there" mission, but I think it had to do something with a missing person ..them crossing the lake on the boat reminded me of that ... And that's just about everything that i remember now lol
This looks awesome! Love the microscopy images. You weren't kidding about the acting quality too!
I gotta say it feels like the trailer gave a little too much away! But I’m still so so excited to see it all play out 👀
You're in for a real treat because one of the main plots isn't even mentioned in the trailer.
@@ashtuatara ooooo that’s exciting!!
Everyone living with anxiety, OCDs etc feel actually seen right now. It doesn't seem to be such a complicated movie but the fact that they included someone with an anxiety disorder is a good change ! Also Felix Mallard seem to really enjoy being in stories with mental illnesses, it's nice having actors pursuing these type of stories.
This is beautiful captivating looks like a real glimpse into the condition.
As an adult recently diagnosed with OCD, this is going to hurt to watch. Just like the book hurt to read. Can't wait.
