Full review

This is the best example of a 'slow burner' film I've ever seen.

Robert (Winstone) visits a prostitute every day - not for sex, but to ask questions, play board games and chat. The opening 45 mins of this film simply shows him visiting, paying his money and asking questions - most of which Naomi, the prostitute, isn't keen to answer because of the circumstances.

This tension builds up and, as a viewer, keeps you compelled to watch. Why is he visiting her? Why the questions? Where is the film going?

All of the above is answered in the second half of Everything. Just as I was fearing the worst about Winstone's character, some major twists occur and the story begins to unfold.

Winstone is superb as usual in the role of Robert. Not much dialogue, but the build up of tension and wonder is done very well.

Nice to see a good independent British film.
