Critics Consensus: Everybody Knows is somewhat less than the sum of its parts despite the efforts of an outstanding cast - and a disappointing step back for writer-director Asghar Farhadi.

Reviews

KUNR (Reno, NV)

Robin Holabird

Lacking an action-film orientation or neatly-wrapped ending, Farhadi and his actors play their story sensitively and believably, leaving much to ponder.

The incredible suspense builds up and puts too much weight into the final act of the film, which ends up being somewhat disappointing. [Full review in Spanish]

Arkansas Democrat-Gazette

Piers Marchant

Like the great Canadian short story writer Alice Munro, Asghar Farhadi forms intricate, mysterious narratives around a complex weave of characters, whose relation to one another takes you some time to sort out.

It can feel predestined at times, but Farhadi so earnestly downplays most canards, setting them off with fractal-like momentum.

Not even the presence of experimented actors can save a boring and "safe" script. [Full review in Spanish].

Common Sense Says

Slow kidnap story is more soggy soap than tense thriller.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that Everybody Knows is a mature Spanish-language drama about the kidnapping of a teen girl. The kidnapping itself isn't shown, but there are threats, arguing, yelling, and general tension. A tiny bit of blood is shown when a character gets a cut/wound. Teens flirt and kiss; married couples also flirt, and there's some sex-related talk. Abortion is mentioned. Language includes a few uses of "f--k," "bitch," "goddamn," etc. Social drinking is prevalent at a wedding, and teens sneak some wine and cigarettes (one is shown to be sick/drunk afterward). A minor character is shown drunk and surly in a bar, and characters smoke cigarettes. Despite being directed by Oscar winner Asghar Farhadi and starring Oscar-winning actors Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem, the movie is a bit tiresome; it's more of a long, slow soap opera than a tense crime story.
