Everything Is Fine

About This Movie

Everything Is Fine, while the title suggests a light-hearted vibe, is anything but. This 2008 drama explores the heavy weight of isolation and grief through Josh, an ordinary suburban teen thrust into an extraordinary tragedy. The atmosphere is thick with a sense of detachment, and the pacing is almost languid, reflecting Josh's spiraling mental state. There’s a rawness to the performances that feels almost unfiltered, particularly in how they portray loss and survivor's guilt. The film does a decent job with practical effects for its emotional beats, creating a stark contrast to the suburban backdrop. It leaves you with an unsettling feeling that lingers long after the credits roll.
