Everybody Altogether Now

About This Movie

So, 'Everybody Altogether Now' is this intriguing blend of documentary and fantasy that really digs into the fabric of Calgary. It’s an anthology of twelve short stories, each offering a glimpse into the lives of quirky characters—like an immortal cowboy nursing a broken heart and a young girl lost in thought on a train. The pacing is a bit uneven, like dreams often are, shifting from whimsical to somber. What stands out is the way it tackles the relationship between the individual and the city, almost like the city itself has a heartbeat. The performances are raw, echoing the realities of addiction and longing. It’s not your typical narrative structure, but that’s what lends it a distinctive charm. The practical effects are minimal yet effective, adding a layer of authenticity. Really, it makes you ponder who is dreaming whom.

Unique narrative style with an anthology format.Explores deep themes of identity and connection.Interesting character studies with a surreal twist.
