Review of Every Thing Will Be Fine (2015) by Cveti? ? — 13 Sep 2015
The title of this piece sets the tone of the movie and as a viewer you can not escape knowing how it is going to resolve. The director does not try to surprise us in that sense, there is no unexpected turn of events.
Instead the whole 120 minutes of the movie is like a slow drive through unremarkable lives or at least presented as such. The main character is a writer overcoming a block. After a car accident in which he kills a small boy no blame is passed but the experience makes him a better writer.
At the beginning it seems that his murky personality is something that we will gain an insight to, but until the end he stays in his stereotypical role of a man not able to share his emotions or display them to the persons he cares about.
The only other character worth noting is the mother of the child which copes with her loss in an admirable way. We do not get to know her even though she appears in many of the scenes. Some hints are placed carefully about the way she leads her life, but are too rare and scarce to even dare guessing who she is.
The director's intention was obviously to try to build characters through long expositions and play of light, color and music, but in doing so he leaves too much room for interpretation by the viewer that they inadvertently fall into the cliche.
It is obvious that this is a work of someone with years of experience but in the end I think it falls flat because of undeveloped characters.
