The A.V. ClubScott Tobias
It isn't pretty to witness, but the pain of it smarts. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterPeter Brunette
The intensity of observation reminds one of Bergman's "Scenes From a Marriage," though of course played in a much more benign key. For the patient, the deliberate pacing is perfect, as each additional layer is quietly and subtly put in place. Read full review

The New York TimesManohla Dargis
A sun-kissed German film about a young couple in love and in doubt, might not be perfect, but so much is right and true in this lovely, delicate work that it comes breathtakingly close. Read full review

Film ThreatNick Antosca
Writer/director Maren Ade has a laid-back, almost lackadaisical style that feels breezy, lived-in, and rich. Read full review

Boxoffice MagazineAmy Nicholson
Smart, empathetic and wholly believable. Read full review

Austin ChronicleMarc Savlov
This romance isn't a sunshine-dappled meadow, it's a thicket of thorny rosebushes atop a rocky precipice. Both actors are alarmingly natural in their roles and Ade's direction is a model of subtly shifting tones and tempers. Read full review

USA TodayMike Clark
The film is an impressive effort, yet often a trying one. Read full review

New York PostV.A. Musetto
The well-acted, pleasantly lensed drama doesn't recall Hollywood's generic approach to fragile couples, and that's just fine with me. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleWalter Addiego
It's an impressive achievement: The film reveals things about each person's inner world, and how it looks to the other, without making us feel as if we're lost in a house of mirrors. Read full review

Philadelphia InquirerSteven Rea
In a sense, Everyone Else traces, over a stretch of days on the sunny Mediterranean, the whole trajectory of a relationship. It's a marriage in miniature: courtship, consummation, conflict; love and hate; the longing for freedom vs. the need for companionship. Read full review

Boston GlobeWesley Morris
Everyone Else is not about hurricanes and earthquakes and knives in the back. It's about private, emotional phenomena: the tiny tremors and imperceptible shifts that bring a couple closer together or drive them apart, almost without their noticing. Read full review

The New YorkerAnthony Lane
If there's one movie this spring that you shouldn't see with a date, it's Everyone Else, unless you are looking for a quick, low-budget way to break up. Not that Maren Ade's film is especially gloomy or cynical; merely that it functions as a fearsome seismograph, charting not just the major quakes in a relationship but also the barest tremors.

Village VoiceJ. Hoberman
An exercise in voyeurism, Maren Ade's provocatively titled, superbly performed, emotionally graphic Everyone Else is more fascinating than enjoyable. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesBetsy Sharkey
The result is a film that unsettles as often as it seduces, though it does very well with both. Read full review

VarietyDerek Elley
Simply fuzzy filmmaking of the worst sort. Read full review

Chicago ReaderJ.R. Jones
By the end of this 124-minute drama I'd have settled for ANYONE else, but like most visits with irritating people, the movie lingers, sharpening one's judgment. Read full review
