What Max’s Turtles All the Way Down Gets Right (& Wrong) About Latina Teens With OCD

can’t help but go down endless thought-spirals about improbable infections and diseases that feel unbearingly real. Touching anything that might inadvertently infect her sets off thoughts of danger and a desperation to purge any infectious elements from her body through self-harm. It’s exhausting to live in her brain, and it’s taking a toll on her life exactly when she should be figuring out who she is and what she wants out of life. And she is acutely aware of this..

However, it’s essential to understand that a film is more than its most powerful and most famous collaborator — though the film doesn’t let us forget Green, featuring him in a quick cameo that, again, feels outdated and empty. Despite these caveats and the liberalism that seems to seep into every Green novel adaptation,, and the challenges she has to navigate when trying to manage mental illness symptoms.

It’s an internal conflict that often leaks into Aza’s external life. She hates the way her thought spirals disrupts her ability to date her love interest Davis . When Aza finally kisses Davis — after much internal dialogue and thought spirals about being contaminated by his germs — Aza freaks out about the possibility that he infected her with a serious disease.

This is a common worry for people who suffer from any kind of mental illness, and it’s the first time I have seen a teenage Latina navigate this issue on screen. Mental illness can often cause existential self-questioning that can result in painful but necessary conclusions about our own thought patterns and behaviors, and it’s significant to see a Latina pondering these questions.
