One of my all time favorites.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

A middle aged man called Richard visits a prostitute called Naomi . He doesn't want sex and Naomi is unsure what he does want . Richard visits her again and his visits become more and more frequent The only real reason I watched this was because it was a relatively old film from just over ten years ago starring Ray Winstone , an actor who no matter what he appears in always seems to be playing a London geezer called Ray Winstone but the guy is one of the most likable actors in Britain and if he was reading out his shopping list I'd still watch himEVERYTHING is written and directed by Richard Hawkins and this was his debut feature and since then hasn't made another feature . It's hardly surprising because this type of film , a sort of cross between plot less realist cinema and grief porn was and still is churned out by British independent cinema and there's nothing to really set it out from this type of very limited market and has that sort of uncinematic feel that goes with the territory . . In fact in many ways it feels like a slightly more gritty version of EASTENDERS with a couple of characters sitting in a room getting more and more miserable and angry at the world . To be fair both Winstone and Jan Graveson are very good in their roles of Richard and Naomi but apart from that I can barely remember anything about it having just seen it

I was recently involved in an online discussion about prostitution - despite never having visited one or knowingly talked to anyone in this line of work.People can't get their ideas straight about the subject. There is societies apparent contempt for the profession (mixed with great interest). Then there is the idea that the nature of the work is necessarily going to ruin a woman's emotional world. Of course - there are a number of other things that could ruin someone's life - the profession's link with drugs, the contempt of the world, the uneasy interactions with the police. Is it the job itself or the associated life that is so hard? Just once in a while someone like Belle du Jour speaks - usually as anonymously as possible - about actually enjoying the job. They know exactly what people's attitudes are going to be if they own up to having enjoyed it... So it takes some courage to say.But when discussing paid sex-work, the question always comes up: what if your mother, sister or daughter were a prostitute? All these questions are worth looking into, yet you'll seldom see them explored in such a good film.Slight spoiler: ---------------The 'twist' - some claim to have seen this coming a mile off (have you noticed there's often a film buff who claims to have "guessed the twist"?) I saw it clearly only a short while before all was revealed - as the client's plan took shape - it was very moving, as is the moment when he finally gains Naomi's trust

This film is one which some will find slow, some will find pointless and others will walk away confused. at first i found myself intrigued, if a little baffled. by the end i was moved and for all the right reasons. It's no blockbuster, but, if you like films that in no way hold back on realism then you'll possibly like this. The narrative is slow, although if you're into subtlety and human dynamics then you won't be disappointed with this work. The acting, photography, vernacular and context of the work is awesome - even down to the intimacy of the Foley. it may make you uncomfortable, it will make you think and it'll give you a very emotive insight into a subject that is often used far too dramatically and for all the wrong reasons.i loved it and hope you take the time to enjoy it also.

I really enjoyed this film and the acting was brilliant throughout with some outstanding performances. The storyline is completely original and excels by not allowing the plot to grind to a halt. Ray winstone as always is excellent and proves what a versatile actor he is by playing this role. His daughter's role is executed well and I believe she is destined for better things. Gritty in places and all in all a very good film which deserves to be seen by anyone who likes a drama with some substance behind it. Even though the film is about prostitution this is not portrayed in a gratuitous way so anyone looking for that should go elsewhere. The actress playing the ageing prostitute plays it to amazing effect and her role is kept fresh and you feel like you are sitting in the room with them as the film evolves.
