…even if the sports movie is a generally a turn-off for you, there’s lots here to enjoy, from a young, hip cast to a typically eclectic soundtrack…

In spite of its somewhat domesticated style, the film doesn't suffer from fascinating internal tensions. [Full review in Spanish]

Outside of very brief dashes of existential reflection on team-building and proper courtship, we simply watch these guys operate and clown around during an endless schedule of soirees for two hours, and that easy breeze is just fine.

Linklater's bittersweet Everybody Wants Some!! weighs all the possibilities and promises of the college years, while reminding his audience that frontiers are an illusion no matter your age.
| Original Score: 4/4 | Apr 18, 2022
It may be slight, but it's also very funny, occasionally insightful, and a welcome throwback to those hallowed school daze.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 18, 2021
Another Richard Linklater film which, like Dazed and Confused and Boyhood before it, breezily tackles the meaning of life.

Writer-director Richard Linklater has blast reliving the glory days of Texan college life.

The movie and its characters live in the moment, and that's a pretty fun place to be.

Sigh. I loved this film.
| Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Sep 7, 2020
Linklater presents more of an indictment of nostalgia than a tribute at its alter, moments to be celebrated without needing to long for their return.

Bouncy, brash, and charming, I enjoyed "Everybody Wants Some!!" though I don't expect I'll ever think about it again.

The fun that springs from the heart of Everybody Wants Some's story it's a sign that director Richard Linklater has fallen in love with his youth. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 7/10 | Jun 26, 2020
My issue with this film is that it shouldn't exist.

My biggest problem with this movie is I hated every single person in it.

In Everybody Wants Some!!, Linklater hints at something different: the notion that competitiveness at this level is a quirk at best and a sort of madness at worst, a deeply compulsive behavior...

It's a coming of age story, a love letter to a bygone era, and a reclamation of adolescent masculinity from a cruel grasp of "bro" culture. It's also a damn fine comedy.

It's funny as hell. It's precisely the right amount of raunchy. It's got a darn good soundtrack. It's a further study of time from a filmmaker eternally fascinated by the subject.

It's all pleasant enough, but after the triumph of 2014's Boyhood, it kind of feels like Linklater's phoning it in on this one.
