Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Horst in Translation ([email protected]) "Alle Anderen" or "Everyone Else" is a German 2-hour film from 7 years ago. It was written and directed by Maren Ade and stars Birgit Minichmayr and Lars Eidinger basically in every scene from start to finish as we follow their characters on a holidays in Southern Europe. They play a couple that is clearly struggling with (the lack of) masculinity in their relationship, especially when they keep meeting another couple with a clearly different approach to the subject. What can I say? I personally thought this was not a good watch. None of the 4 major characters in the film were likable to me and that resulted in me not caring for them at all. People may say their flaws define their actions and make them interesting, but I personally did not feel they were written in a realistic manner. It all felt so over the top, especially the scenes that the two had together. They were written in a way that lacked authenticity completely and allowed the actors to go as hammy as possible.The only somewhat interesting scenes in my opinion were when the two met the other couple on 3 occasions because of the group mentality that was fascinating to watch on several occasions. Then again it was really always the same basically. People acting as if they like each other when all they felt for the other was really despair and yet Minichmayr's character, even if she despised the strong alpha male, did not like the weakling that her boyfriend was. Did not make any sense at all. Her character was clearly written in a way that should have been as baity as possibly, but in depth did not make any sense. Eidinger's character's approach to acting like a feminine sissy (or trying to be masculine and failing gloriously) was neither a good portrayal nor intelligently written. All in all the film lacked subtlety and good character writing from start to finish and the ending with the apparent split-up followed by the two acting in harmony again was extremely lackluster too. The worst possible way that this could have ended. By then, not only the audience does not care about the two anymore, but even Ade herself apparently wasn't giving a *beep* anymore. The material does not justify such a massive runtime. 4 stars out of 10 is a very generous rating here. Do not be fooled by all the awards attention this movie got. It is not worth seeing. Not at all.

talullah82 I have only a few words to say about this movie. I am not interested in its ratings, and the angles in which it has been filmed, nor I will question the actors.all I can say is that this movie showed MY RELATIONSHIP. me and my boyfriend have our very first portrait, and such fine details that made us burst in laughter and also deep and serious feelings we both found in this movie were depicted from our real daily life.I couldn't have compared us to Gone with the wind, or other classic love stories. :))))Congratulations to the director.

Roland E. Zwick Similar in style and tone to last year's "Blue Valentine," the German film "Everyone Else" provides us with an oblique look at a troubled relationship. Though the couple in this film does not seem as overtly unhappy as the one in the American work, there is still something clearly eating away at their relationship. The most admirable aspect of the screenplay by Maren Ade is that it doesn't throw easy labels onto either the characters or the problems they're facing. The movie is really more a piece of objective reportage chronicling their lives over the course of a few days than a plot- and theme-driven narrative leading us to a preordained conclusion about them as people.Chris (Lars Eidinger) is a gifted but apparently not very successful architect, while Gitti (Birgit Minichmayr), his girlfriend, who works in the recording business, seems to be generally supportive of his efforts. Chris and Gitti are spending a relaxing vacation at his mother's home on the Mediterranean, when Gitti begins to off-handedly question Chris's masculinity (we assume that it has more to do with his lack of initiative and drive than with his personal mannerisms). In response, Chris begins to treat Gitti in an ever more callous fashion, trying to prove her wrong by acting in the dismissive and domineering way he assumes "real" men do, and in the way, if Gitta is any indication, women apparently want them to.But this synopsis really only covers the tip of the iceberg, for there are clearly many more complex dynamics taking place within this relationship that are not so easily delineated and described. Suffice it to say that the movie explores the myriad elements that go into relationships, and does so without spelling them out in simplistic terms and without passing judgment on the characters. The parameters within which any relationship must be set are still evolving and fluid in the case of Chris and Gitti, and this leads to much pushing of the boundaries and behavioral experimentation on the part of the couple throughout the course of the film. Ade's direction is unobtrusive and observational in nature, which allows the actors to interact with one another in a quasi-improvisational and thus wholly believable fashion.There is, however, a definite downside to this type of storytelling – "Blue Valentine" suffered from it as well – and that is that the motivations for the characters' actions are often so murky and inexplicable that they can seem downright arbitrary to those of us who are watching all of this unfold from the outside in. That's why Chris and Gitti strike us as being more weird and annoying – if not downright daffy - than anything else at times.Thus, your initial response might be to assume that perhaps Chris and Gitti simply aren't meant for one another and that they might think about looking elsewhere for a relationship. But, then again, if it were that easy to get out of a troubled relationship, we'd have no need in the first place for films like "Everyone Else."

tod3058 I'm going to keep this fairly short and sweet, which is not what the Director decided to do in this film. A long and laboring film about a couple who appear to have just met, but turns out are in a long term relationship, and have clear issues with each other and the wider world. All of the characters were unlikable, unbelievable and unpleasant. The redeeming feature should be the cinematography, but that is ruined by the Directors inability to edit the shots down. Uncomfortably long and voyeuristic sex scenes coupled with long silent pauses within conversations, which are painfully obvious there to portray the awkwardness between characters, add to audiences torture. I didn't like nor care for the characters and I was desperate for the Director to put me out of my misery and end this film. It finally did and I was happy. With some discipline, good actors and story this Director could achieve something watchable but unfortunately they didn't here.
