Wonderfully offbeat film!

Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Realistic and unrealistic. Funny and serious. Spontaneous and planned. Plain and complicated. Bitter and sweet. Melancholic and cheerful. Passionate and apathetic. Shattering. Everything comes and everything goes.A departure, some alcohol, destruction, young love, adventure and curiosity, a different night, the awakening, continuation, and what if? A short film that has little to say and plenty to show.I have been looking for this short film for months. But as some wise people say, when you seek you do not observe, and when you do not observe you do not find. It was much easier than that.

This was such an entertaining and quirky little film!Hugo Weaving and Abbie Cornish have great chemistry together and the ending is very touching. It's really a story about how a fleeting encounter with a stranger can sometimes have an indelible impact on our life. I really related to that idea.I've noticed that the recent Will Ferrell film "Everything Must Go" is based on the same short story "Why Don't You Dance?" - I guess they must have ripped off the title from this film. I only got to see this little gem because someone I know has a DVD copy, but as far as I know, it's never been released. Which is a shame.

So many people seem to be searching for something they feel they don't have in their love relationship - maybe something that doesn't even exist. "Everything Goes" is a poem about the fantasies and realities of love.The delicate game of seduction and betrayal between Hugo Weaving, Abbie Cornish and Sullivan Stapleton was handled brilliantly. They all felt like fully developed characters, a real achievement when you consider this is a short film. This film was screened with Robert Lepage's feature "The Far Side of the Moon", and while I also enjoyed that film, "Everything Goes" left me with more to think on.This was by far the best short I saw at the Sydney Film Festival this year.

I saw this lovingly crafted short film at the Sydney Film Festival last week - and I've been thinking about it ever since.Based on a short story by American author Raymond Carver, "Everything Goes" is a hilarious, touching story of love and loss set amongst the bric-a-brac of a suburban yard sale. Hugo Weaving, Abbie Cornish and Sullivan Stapleton give memorable and beautifully nuanced performances. The audience I saw it with also loved the "performance" by Hugo's dog!A good companion film for this little gem would be Sofia Coppola's impressionistic romance "Lost in Translation".
