Everyone Else Reviews

This film is a questionable film. It's about the everday aspect of a relationship between man and woman. And that's it. A couple that struggles with the ups and downs of their life together.

The lack of action and a propelling plot lets the film take on a very slow pace and will quite likely bore the viewer. And that is, as sad as it may sound, typical for german films.
The only scene that could be considered as a climax is the end. And for this you have to sit through the remaining 115 minutes.

The only interesting fact about this film are the actors. They portray the characters in a very believable way and the on-going changes of their feelings can only be traced in their mimic, gestures and actions.
This lets me conclude that "Everyone Else" is film that analyzes human behaviour in its different forms.
It's not a film for entertainment but a film to watch observantly to realise the different messages it may contain.
For a german film it is one of the better ones but still a very poor piece of work, that even the good actors can't make better.

(At one point I have to give the film credit though. It has actually won a prize at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2009.)
