Review of Every Thing Will Be Fine

I came into this movie with low expectations, but was pleasantly surprised to find a well crafted, affecting story. The plot itself is very simplistic. So much so that one begins to wonder if this idea could be made into an almost two hour movie. But that is where this movie begins to show its' genius. Time itself, it seems is under study in this movie. A tragic accident occurs. A young boy is killed. And the next 90+ minutes reveals the effect it has, not only to the main characters involved, but also the people that they love. It is beautifully shot and well acted. It tugs at your heart strings, but never so roughly that you will notice that you yourself are being affected by the passage of time. Many of the events that occur seem logical and are character revealing. It's hard to dislike this movie. It just goes to show that even the most mundane of ideas can bear rich fruit.
