On the positive side, Ray Winstone and Jan Graveson make a nice 'couple' and deliver lots of interesting scenes. It is filmed in a decent way, except for some strange zooms (mostly in the beginning of the film) that seemed completely unnecessary.And then there's a negative side, as you may have expected. It's usually pretty clear that there has to be some personal drama behind the behaviour of such a nice, f*-ed up man, and one of my guesses turned out to be right; the man's daughter is a prostitute (in real life the actress playing her is Ray Winstone's daughter btw). So, no surprise there, and adding to that there is a lot going on that's going nowhere or feels rather pointless (the other - younger - prostitute and her pimp, a pursuit in the streets, the wife discovering the man's secret visits). I guess it's all supposed to be a little off beat somehow, but this 'construction' didn't work for me - except the aforementioned scenes between Winstone and Graveson, which make for most of 'Everything'.In the end it all feels somewhat inane, but the acting and dialogues got me through quite it easily.

This film is one which some will find slow, some will find pointless and others will walk away confused. at first i found myself intrigued, if a little baffled. by the end i was moved and for all the right reasons. It's no blockbuster, but, if you like films that in no way hold back on realism then you'll possibly like this. The narrative is slow, although if you're into subtlety and human dynamics then you won't be disappointed with this work. The acting, photography, vernacular and context of the work is awesome - even down to the intimacy of the Foley. it may make you uncomfortable, it will make you think and it'll give you a very emotive insight into a subject that is often used far too dramatically and for all the wrong reasons.i loved it and hope you take the time to enjoy it also.

An overweight man with a Don Johnson beard is our main character, he's unfortunate to look at. He looks up a hooker who is worn out looking and must be pushing 40 if not already hurdled past. They sit together in a crappy run down apartment, and he asks her creepy questions but won't have sex with her. Since this is pretty psychotic it creeps her out- OK.. we get that in the first 5 minutes.. where is the rest of the idea? It promptly falls flat on its' face after delivering the idea and the only tool it has left is boredom and lack of action as a clumsy attempt at building suspense. After 7 minutes you go.. OK does anything ever happen in this piece of crap? Well.. you will be waiting for half an hour before any skin presents itself and be promptly let down directly after. And so we plod through this trash. The hooker has a very interesting body- it is quite athletic, almost to the point of androgyny, but she has a butter face. Her body is hot but her face...So you would expect either sex or violence in large quantities to present themselves but it just kind of bumbles along in a mind numbing lack of action and lack of any sort of plot development.This video will be a great joke to play on someone- tell them it is the sexiest most mind blowing heart pounding movie. They will hate you forever because this is anything but!!!!!!!!!!As Rick James said- I wish I had me 4 hands so I could give it four thumbs down!

For those of us who continue to wave the flag for British cinema, perennially undermined by poor scripts or craven overtures to the States, maintaining such respect is very often like trying to love a puppy that keeps crapping on the duvet. So it's a joy when you stumble across a no-budget homegrown sporting great writing, even better performances – and which doesn't compromise to anyone. Winstone is the mystery john who visits Naomi the prostitute (a terrific debut from Graveson) over 9 consecutive days (the film was shot in 9 days too), without once soliciting sex. He just wants to talk; to find out why she does what she does. On the penultimate day, he even brings a Monopoly set round. If the climax doesn't come as a surprise exactly, the emotional impact remains intact, aided by heartfelt, beautifully understated performances from the cast, including Winstone's real-life daughter. See it.
