Everybody’s Fine (Kirk Jones, 2009): USA/ Italy

Reviewed by Tamara Mamukelashvili. Viewed in Hollywood, CA at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, part of AFI Fest 2009.

The film Everybody’s Fine, says everything itself by just checking out the cast. I think this film really touched a lot of peoples heart because how sweet the film is. Low key, great performances by amazing actors and a very sweet, touching and loving story.

Film is about a father, who lives alone, wants to spend some time with his children, (who are leaving their lives in different cities) but they never showed up. so he decide to surprise them and and goes visiting his children. As the story develops, the plot line becomes more interesting, things happen that you don’t expect . Very heartwarming film.

Something that the whole family would enjoy watching together. I think the film wasn’t deep or very artistic or hard to watch. this film is just helps you realize what family means, or should mean to everybody. it is very emotional, as its very real, because people experience these kind of situations in real life. So anybody could connect with it.

This film is definitely is worth watching. At least the main reason easily can be Robert De Niro. I loved the movie, i heard audience crying and laughing at the same time. Its very enjoyable movie, very real and easy to connect with.
