Amandla Stenberg is beautiful as 18 year old Maddy, the girl who spent her whole entire life indoors because of this illness that apparently would kill her if she left the house. Her only socialization is her smothering mother, her somewhat fairy god mother nurse Carla and Carla's daughter.
Maddy's life changes when a family moves in next door. As Maddy watches this family from her window, she catches the attention of the new boy Olly. Olly soon discovers Maddy's condition but that does not stop him from wanting to get to know her/ falling in love with her.
Maddy builds little models of diners, libraries etc, and in her models she places a little astronaut in them. Maddy then fantasies of being in real life versions of her models with Olly. Each time Maddy fantasies there's always an astronaut in the background. I find this really cute.
Behind her mother's back, her lovely nurse allows for Olly to come in the house and meet Maddy and their romance soon blossoms.
Overall this movie feels like Rapunzel. Maddy being Rapunzel and her mother being the Witch/Mother Gothel. Olly (the handsome prince) comes to rescue Maddy and shows her how wonderful the world is.
This movie is beautiful and the colors are beautiful. I loved it A+
I LOVE THIS MOVIE.
