Everything Goes Audience Reviews

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Josephina Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Everything Goes" is an Australian 18-minute live action short film from 2004, so this one will have its 15th anniversary next year and it is one of the rare efforts as writer and director by Andrew Kotatko, the first of two only in fact, and this English-language film features 3 fairly well-known actors in the center of the story, two of them Australian too. I must say I did not (really) know Stapleton before seeing this one, but Cornish and Weaving are of course familiarr names/faces. It is the story of a couple who wants to buy some furniture on a yard sale, but they get far more than they expected. I think this was a pretty good watch, maybe a bit absurd, but not really in a bad way. The actors are good enough to turn the fine script into an interesting work overall. With this, Kotatko proves that his strengths do not only lie in the music department, but also he can do a pretty good job as the man in charge and especially for a rookie effort this was pretty impressive and on a level that many lauded filmmakers can only dream of. Quite a shame he did not want to make any other films in about a decade until pretty recently as I give this little drama definitely a thumbs-up. You don't even need to be a big fan of any of the cast members here to appreciate the outcome. Go check out this sensually tempting and convincing movie.
joanna_barnes71 This was such an entertaining and quirky little film!Hugo Weaving and Abbie Cornish have great chemistry together and the ending is very touching. It's really a story about how a fleeting encounter with a stranger can sometimes have an indelible impact on our life. I really related to that idea.I've noticed that the recent Will Ferrell film "Everything Must Go" is based on the same short story "Why Don't You Dance?" - I guess they must have ripped off the title from this film. I only got to see this little gem because someone I know has a DVD copy, but as far as I know, it's never been released. Which is a shame.
sylvain_chaureau So many people seem to be searching for something they feel they don't have in their love relationship - maybe something that doesn't even exist. "Everything Goes" is a poem about the fantasies and realities of love.The delicate game of seduction and betrayal between Hugo Weaving, Abbie Cornish and Sullivan Stapleton was handled brilliantly. They all felt like fully developed characters, a real achievement when you consider this is a short film. This film was screened with Robert Lepage's feature "The Far Side of the Moon", and while I also enjoyed that film, "Everything Goes" left me with more to think on.This was by far the best short I saw at the Sydney Film Festival this year.
nikkiwhitelady I saw this lovingly crafted short film at the Sydney Film Festival last week - and I've been thinking about it ever since.Based on a short story by American author Raymond Carver, "Everything Goes" is a hilarious, touching story of love and loss set amongst the bric-a-brac of a suburban yard sale. Hugo Weaving, Abbie Cornish and Sullivan Stapleton give memorable and beautifully nuanced performances. The audience I saw it with also loved the "performance" by Hugo's dog!A good companion film for this little gem would be Sofia Coppola's impressionistic romance "Lost in Translation".
