Nothing else besides "a group of college friends who reunite decades later for a weekend trip to a cabin in the woods" happens in this movie.

C

A poor imitation of The Big Chill--lesbian style--poorly executed and schematically written.

4/5

Recalling The Return of the Secaucus Seven rather than the more expensive but more superficial The Big Chill, Everything Relative is one of the best lesbian films yet.

Once moviegoers relinquish their desire for crystal-clear image and sound, they'll find themselves falling comfortably into the sweet and sensuous, sarcastic, and edgy rhythms of this movie.

The theme is tired and familiar... the outcome? Predictable and flat.

How could you not like a film which features Harvey Fierstein as a moyl with two-pierced ears? You simply can't.

A time capsule of what it was like to be a lesbian just a generation ago. Very fun, if now dated film. Loved the rare happy ending.

I enjoyed this film. The lesbian Big Chill. Most of it was fun. Love Maria, especially when she is mad and starts rambling off in Spanish.
