Every Thing Will Be Fine takes place in Canada, here utterly boring and uninflected with anything beyond a few trying landscapes. Wenders is clearly phoning it in. Maybe he didn't even show up for work.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 4, 2020

Every Thing Will Be Fine is downright strange. Some of the visual choices really feel like conscious decisions to do something interesting with the format, but the strain is palpable and the subject matter is handled embarrassingly.

| Oct 17, 2017

With Every Thing Will Be Fine, [Wim] Wenders has proved that using 3D need not be confined to documentary filmmaking, but that it can be absolutely vital to drama.

Thrusts clumsiness and obviousness to the fore, rather than complexity and intricacy.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Dec 3, 2016

...watchable and diverting.

| Original Score: 14/20 | Nov 13, 2016

Even those moments that raise the eyebrows sky-high still have a weird integrity and determination skating under the surface.

| Original Score: B- | Feb 22, 2016

It's a well-photographed story with an intriguing setup, but soon we're mired in a meandering, stilted story with forced dialogue and some surprisingly subpar performances from the talented cast.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.0 | Jan 8, 2016

Angst-filled drama is surprisingly dull and uninteresting.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jan 8, 2016

Not even Wenders seems to understand what this film is trying to say about the human experience.

| Original Score: C- | Jan 7, 2016

Comparisons to Atom Egoyan's masterful puzzle The Sweet Hereafter would be unfair to this puzzling mass.

| Jan 7, 2016

Story-less tale of depression isn't helped by 3D cinematography

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 3, 2016

Wenders has a history of employing exceptional cinematographers (such as Robby Müller), and here gets fine work from Benoit Debie, whose glowing landscapes and interiors contribute at least as much as the script.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 17, 2015

There are some lovely compositions both indoors and outdoors (including a use of split-screen), but Every Thing Will Be Fine still lacks the poetry or even fundamental interest of the film of his it most closely resembles, Paris, Texas.

| Dec 17, 2015

is a sharply observed psychological drama that takes time to focus on small, but not insignificant, moments of high emotion

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 14, 2015

It's an archetypal Canadian story, the kind Canadians have been filming since the corpse fell out of the coffin in Mon Oncle Antoine, but told through a German lens, it looks entirely different.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 12, 2015

The cast is largely inanimate in this two-hour slog through rural Canada.

| Dec 11, 2015

A small but taut drama in which the beautiful physical details jumping off the screen only serve to emphasize an ill-defined setting and major insufficiencies in the script and performances.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 11, 2015

With backing from producers in no less than five countries and director of the gravitas of Wim Wenders - not to mention a solid cast - you'd think Every Thing Will Be Fine would be more impressive than it turns out to be.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 10, 2015

Tomas and Kate's paths will cross repeatedly over the ensuing years, but this is not the story of an unlikely couple drawn together by tragedy. Rather, it is a multi-pronged exploration of the things we keep inside.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 10, 2015

Wim Wenders' newest drama proves that 3D doesn't have to be reserved for animated adventures and superhero stories. You can tell a basic drama quite nicely in the third dimension.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 10, 2015
