I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Writer Tomas Eldan (James Franco) almost hits Christopher who sled onto the snow-covered road. Tomas carries him back up to the house where his mother Kate (Charlotte Gainsbourg) comes out looking for her other son. Tomas realizes that he had unknowingly ran him over. He is haunted by the death despite not being responsible. His relationship with Sara (Rachel McAdams) struggles as they clash over her wish for kids. Eventually, he finds love again with Ann (Marie-Josée Croze) and her daughter Mina. He tries to help Kate while Christopher is obsessed with Tomas and that fateful day.The movie opens with a great incident but then it goes off into a series of rambling flat scenes. Everybody speaks in that flat Quebecois accented English. The story keeps skipping ahead a few years and jumping over the emotional flow. It's flat tonally. It's disjointed. There are one or two great scenes with McAdams but it's all very fleeting. The story would be more powerful staying with Sara and Kate.

This film tells the story of a writer who accidentally kills a boy in a traffic accident. He spends many years of his life dealing and coping with the tragedy he caused.I find the story non-happening, the pace super slow and the acting poor. The script is so poor that I rolled my eyes at the scene where Rachel McAdams slapped James Franco, then when she did it the second time I laughed because it was like a mother slapping a child. Even with Charlotte Gainsbourg's supposedly open heart, it is still very unbelievable that they could spend an afternoon together in embrace.The actors and actresses all look lethargic and emotionless, even in supposedly emotional scenes. They look more like sleepwalking than acting. Rachel McAdams' fake accent is quite a pain to the ears, I don't know what that accent is supposed to be or what it signifies, but it does not add anything to the film. "Every Thing Will Be Fine" is not fine, in fact it is really horrendous. You should consider yourself lucky that you have not had a chance to watch it.

An artistic film about everyday life focusing on the popular writer Tomas Eldan and other artists and their close-ones whose paths cross upon each other when tragedy hits, unfolding a series of events that span over a decade. A small and realistic film by director Wim Wenders using brilliant 3D techniques centering around time and light that makes huge waves with the storytelling, the breathtaking cinematography and scenery with impressive performances, especially from James Franco and rising actor Robert Naylor. Charlotte Gainsbourg, Rachel McAdams, Peter Stormare, Patrick Bauchau, Marie-Josée Croze and the young Julia Sarah Stone, Lilah Fitzgerald and Jack Fulton also feature. There were a few question marks in the script that stood out for me but the overall film-production and the skills they used satisfied me totally.

Exceptionally well acted by James Franco. Beautifully layered storyline. Its storytelling is right on par with the story itself. Really modest in its presentation, but grand in its effect. Robert Naylor also deserves credit for some fine acting. I hope this piece of art won't be underrated, because the story really is just a plain portrait of life, without any fuss. It struck me, with all its characters in it. Please take note of James Franco reading his letter from teenager Christopher so beautifully human. And the score is beautiful! Its cinematography is well crafted, there to deliver. I can't see why people would think this is a pretentious presentation of camera styles.
