Everybody's Fine

Sentiment américain, mais câlin sincère et aimant des valeurs familiales du fond du cœur. Rockwell, Beckinsale et Barrymore apprécient énormément chaque scène avec leur idole d'acteur De Niro, ce qui est sans doute la plus grande valeur du film. *Veuillez jeter les caméras numériques à la poubelle !

Comme quelqu’un d’autre l’a déjà mentionné sur ce site, ce n’est pas tout à fait un cinq étoiles, mais quand quelqu’un perd un proche, ce film a de quoi le toucher. Après une longue période, Robert De Niro me convainc à nouveau et ses enfants ne pouvaient constituer de meilleur choix. Sam Rockwell me plaît de plus en plus. Un film très doux et assez triste qui pousse à réfléchir sur les valeurs familiales, l’ambition, la sincérité… (06/05/2010)

A pleasant picture with an excellent cast. De Niro’s presence alone was enough to convince Sam Rockwell, Drew and Kate to agree to the role of his children. And all of them naturally want to shine in front the old man, so they do their very best, but daddy is still number one and outshines them all, pulling occasional trumps from his sleeve. The story is actually a kind of a retirement road movie about family values. I like this kind of movie and here they didn’t hesitate to push it to the limit and beyond. (01/07/2010)

I don't know the Italian original, but if it's better, I can't imagine how. Everybody's Fine is a film that must grab everyone's heart. Not just people who have parent/child issues. De Niro gives a great performance, his "old man" is exactly what you expect - smiling, suspicious, often disappointed and now and then dog-eyed, yet still searching for the meaning of everything that is happening around him. I give it four stars and a bit of a fifth because I was incredibly moved by the whole thing... And I don't just mean the "Why did you lie to me?" scene from the table talk. I would never have imagined what the sight of ordinary telephone wires can do to a person. Actually, sorry, I mean their PVC packaging. Are you looking for a drama that will make you laugh, think and move you, and after which you will leave the movie theater satisfied with a smile on your lips? Here you go. (10/04/2010)

The cast is good, but overall it's simply weak. The only one who has truly interesting role here is Robert De Niro, which is sometimes disrupted by unnecessary flashbacks that at least have an interesting concept. It's too straightforward, too simple, and ultimately too long because it's actually not about much. (26/01/2015)
