12 Movies Like After That Every Romance Fan Should See

Like After, Everything, Everything is based on a novel (Nicola Yoon's 2015 book of the same name). Starring Amandla Stenberg and Nick Robinson, the story follows Maddy Whittier (Stenberg), a young woman with a serious medical condition that keeps her homebound. Her neighbor, Olly Bright (Robinson), helps her experience life. Naturally, as two characters so often do in a romantic drama, they fall in love.

Everything, Everything follows a familiar formula, yet it's given a twist given the severity of Maddy's health. Love conquers all on the movie screen, yet audience members will have to push play on the film to find out if that trope remains intact in Everything, Everything.

Still not sure? Picture this: Everything, Everything is a story about a girl who can't leave her home. She can't go outside. Simple viruses can kill her. Every day feels the same. Although it was released in 2017, Maddy's situation can feel eerily similar to the shared nightmare brought on by the 2020 global pandemic — but don't worry, it's still a love story that's capable of sweeping you away.
