Everything’s Going to Be Great understands the hopeless can-do spirit of not quite getting there but coming close enough that you’ll never, ever give up. Read full review

The 95-minute runtime also aids the dramedy’s success: Short, silly, and sweet, the perfect recipe for audience satisfaction. Read full review

Screen RantNick BythrowJun 18, 2025
By reflecting the difficulties of life with the hope that comes from one's passion, this film does a great job at emphasizing how, even in the face of insurmountable adversity, passion can triumph over even the toughest of times. Read full review

Slant MagazineJustin ClarkJun 16, 2025
The human struggles at play are too dire and relatable for us to say that these people don’t deserve that level of grace, but making the audience generally sympathize with them doesn’t make spending time with them particularly pleasant either. Read full review

VarietyOwen GleibermanJun 12, 2025
Everything’s Going to Be Great is a ramble, an unconvincing grab bag, a domestic tall tale with too much stuffed into it. Read full review

The A.V. ClubBrianna ZiglerJun 12, 2025
Everything’s Going To Be Great tries to tackle ideas related to perceptions of success, acceptance, family, religion, love, homosexuality, and probably some other things thrown in there too. But there is no commitment to any of them. Read full review
