clark-96172 Review of Everything Is Free

Everything Is Free (2017)

I guess the concept is worth a star??

[1/10 · 6 December 2021]

For something that had a good concept going in it just made all the wrong steps from start to finish. The best friends character makes no sense. How was he best friends with the guy for so long but homophobic? I can understand a homophobic person being a casual acquaintances with a queer person because they are kept a distance most of the time. But someone who's homophobic enough to not be willing to have his brother be gay wouldnt CHOOSE a best friend that's openly gay. It makes no sense. Then there's the little brother who is even more unlikable than our best friend. He used amd manipulated the main character the entire movie. He didn't get a redemption arc and just gets his happy ending? And speaking of the ending...it was the WORST ending this film could've had. I'm sorry but in his speech he said they made him feel like he deserved to die...and you forgive himself? You mean after 2 years, you're still not over a guy you hooked up with a few times over the course of a couple weeks?

There was no chemistry or tension that would make us as an audience feel a connection to their trysts. Also, our main character threatens to kill himself when ol boy doesn't want to talk to him? Gross.

The main character was saying and doing all the right things at the ending interaction but somehow still gave in?

Here I was hoping I'd be watching a gay film with a good ending for once and we are left with this...

Wish I could give less than 0 stars.

This movie could've been something but instead it took us om a long trip to nowhere.
