Don't waste your time. It goes no where. Kept waiting for something to make sense. Nope. Didn't happen.

Woozy, Dreamy, and Beautifully Shot, this Soggy and Sloggy Melodrama about Life is a Lifeless Contemplation about an Accidental Death that takes a Heavy Toll on those Involved.Heavy, to say the Least. The Burden is Barred by a Struggling Writer, a Mother and Her Surviving Son, and a Women Attached to a Now Detached Writer.This makes for a Movie that makes a Terence Mallick Movie seem High-Voltage. The Screen is Filled with Fallen Faces and Circumstantial Consequences that Manifest as Clinical. The Writer (James Franco) does eventually Move from Under the Guilt and the Mother Makes Art by Contract, but Refuses to call Herself an Artist because of it.Her Surviving Son Carries the Early Life Tragedy with Him through His Teens and is Decidedly Disturbed. The Film Spans more than a Decade and Leaps Two and then Four Years at a time.It's Mostly Mood as the Characters make Their Way through the Muck Mostly Moving in "Slow Motion", Reciting Dialog that is Pedestrian and Rarely Profound or Insightful.It's a Still Life, both Visually and Metaphorically and the Early Accident that Set Things in this Slow Motion now Becomes a Substantial Weight, Carried not only by the Characters Involved, but the Audience as well.Wim Wenders Directs and also Stars Rachel McAdams and Charlotte Gainsbourg.

This blew my mind. I immediately sat down and began to write the poetry that will make me rich and famous! It is a sad movie. One punk dies and they don't even show it! Shame on you Wim for not showing the gore!The writer sleeps with the punk's mother. The don't have sex. She cradles him like a dog.He can't make kids. He's senile middle aged---probably had his prostate removed when he was ten! Not virile. But writes novels that gets awards and gives him a fancy home and he's a chick magnet!This show rocks.Later someone pisses on his bed, but it makes no sense to me.There's smiles and sunlight. There's reading to ease panic.This guy does not like writers. This he quotes.

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.
