With a title like this, you expect a typical gritty and violent gangster filick. Instead you get a charming , thoughtful sometimes surreal story of when two lost lives collide. it's also drily funny throughout and elegiacally shot without the 'look' ever dominating the accomplished script. Great performances too, and an ending that leaves possibilities still open. Uplifting and thoughtful...I wish there were more films around like this!

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

Saw this earlier today at EIFF and what a pleasant surprise! After a slightly rocky start, the film picks up it's rhythm and just gets better and better. The two lead performances by Nora Tschirner and Rob Knighton are pitch perfect, taking the movie to great places.

Guardian

Mono-named writer-director Jones was seemingly aiming for quirky, offbeat whimsy with a downbeat undertone but the result is more like clumsy, overthought twee with an undercooked script.

Rated: 2/5

Time Out

A meandering, hipsterish romance.

CineVue

Everything is too polished, like an efficiently made episode of a TV drama, and even the oddness feels contrived and clichéd, a generic choice rather than a real sensibility.

Rated: 2/5

Battle Royale With Cheese

I had this sense of dread that this was going to another gangster style shoot them-up, but this film is witty, raw and unexpectedly charming. Everyone's Going To Die is one of the reasons why British independent cinema is hot right now.

HeyUGuys

A film that manages to make the heavy times feel light, the quiet moments a point of instant kinship with viewers and feel wholly enigmatic during its modest, 83-minute run time.

Rated: 4/5
