On the positive side, Ray Winstone and Jan Graveson make a nice 'couple' and deliver lots of interesting scenes. It is filmed in a decent way, except for some strange zooms (mostly in the beginning of the film) that seemed completely unnecessary.
And then there's a negative side, as you may have expected. It's usually pretty clear that there has to be some personal drama behind the behaviour of such a nice, f*-ed up man, and one of my guesses turned out to be right; the man's daughter is a prostitute (in real life the actress playing her is Ray Winstone's daughter btw). So, no surprise there, and adding to that there is a lot going on that's going nowhere or feels rather pointless (the other - younger - prostitute and her pimp, a pursuit in the streets, the wife discovering the man's secret visits). I guess it's all supposed to be a little off beat somehow, but this 'construction' didn't work for me - except the aforementioned scenes between Winstone and Graveson, which make for most of 'Everything'.
In the end it all feels somewhat inane, but the acting and dialogues got me through quite it easily.
