CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

Bumpy Chip It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

ThurstonHunger Even in our own relationships, there is something we are missing in our partners, and I'm sure our partners while loving us, often miss what we feel are our best intentions, if not actions.This film rides a voyeuristic spark, both in terms of the two main interests, but also there was the aspect of seeing the temple for lack of a better world, of the young man's mother whom we never meet. But mostly it is about young people in love, which sure is a flower with plenty of thorns, but one we all want to see take root and last for many seasons.Yet relationships are hard, and moreso if linguistic currency, or even actual currency, is not set at a fair exchange. Trying to figure out who we are, is as much a challenge as trying to figure out whom we should be with. Don't wait on the former to start the latter, but they can come at cross purposes. Trying to ride past the person you thought you saw with who they actually are, that is certainly a challenge and seen in this film, where originally the young man seems to be cut from the wonderfully aware cloth that his mother swaddled him in. That contrast may parallel the contrast of where the couple is staying versus the ground where their financial footing actually lands.Is this an Antonioni film for people in their 30's? Maybe, I enjoyed it and hope not all people, young or otherwise, feel relationships are always doomed. At least enjoy your time in that bubble with your love, where you manage to keep the world at bay (not just the infatuation whirlwind, although that is great for Everyone).

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Alle Anderen" or "Everyone Else" is a German 2-hour film from 7 years ago. It was written and directed by Maren Ade and stars Birgit Minichmayr and Lars Eidinger basically in every scene from start to finish as we follow their characters on a holidays in Southern Europe. They play a couple that is clearly struggling with (the lack of) masculinity in their relationship, especially when they keep meeting another couple with a clearly different approach to the subject. What can I say? I personally thought this was not a good watch. None of the 4 major characters in the film were likable to me and that resulted in me not caring for them at all. People may say their flaws define their actions and make them interesting, but I personally did not feel they were written in a realistic manner. It all felt so over the top, especially the scenes that the two had together. They were written in a way that lacked authenticity completely and allowed the actors to go as hammy as possible.The only somewhat interesting scenes in my opinion were when the two met the other couple on 3 occasions because of the group mentality that was fascinating to watch on several occasions. Then again it was really always the same basically. People acting as if they like each other when all they felt for the other was really despair and yet Minichmayr's character, even if she despised the strong alpha male, did not like the weakling that her boyfriend was. Did not make any sense at all. Her character was clearly written in a way that should have been as baity as possibly, but in depth did not make any sense. Eidinger's character's approach to acting like a feminine sissy (or trying to be masculine and failing gloriously) was neither a good portrayal nor intelligently written. All in all the film lacked subtlety and good character writing from start to finish and the ending with the apparent split-up followed by the two acting in harmony again was extremely lackluster too. The worst possible way that this could have ended. By then, not only the audience does not care about the two anymore, but even Ade herself apparently wasn't giving a *beep* anymore. The material does not justify such a massive runtime. 4 stars out of 10 is a very generous rating here. Do not be fooled by all the awards attention this movie got. It is not worth seeing. Not at all.

dfwforeignbuff long review in making. saw this tonite nov 4 2010. Its a little too much chick oriented to me and became boring and kind of vague. its a good movie and a great sophomore effort by the director but some of the scenes just dragged on. If she dislike him so much why did she marry him?? why did he put up with the constant haranguing??? why did he not do more with his work? the married couple is unbelievable and unpleasant. this film has phenomenal 90 percent on rotten tomatoes and 6.6 on IMDb. the 66 out of 100 is my personal feeling. the ending had a real lack of resolution and for much of the movie nothing was happening.

tod3058 I'm going to keep this fairly short and sweet, which is not what the Director decided to do in this film. A long and laboring film about a couple who appear to have just met, but turns out are in a long term relationship, and have clear issues with each other and the wider world. All of the characters were unlikable, unbelievable and unpleasant. The redeeming feature should be the cinematography, but that is ruined by the Directors inability to edit the shots down. Uncomfortably long and voyeuristic sex scenes coupled with long silent pauses within conversations, which are painfully obvious there to portray the awkwardness between characters, add to audiences torture. I didn't like nor care for the characters and I was desperate for the Director to put me out of my misery and end this film. It finally did and I was happy. With some discipline, good actors and story this Director could achieve something watchable but unfortunately they didn't here.
