Every Day

This is just such a great "What if" concept. What if you woke up every morning in a different body, but the same age? Could be a man or a woman, black or white, but never too far away? What would you be like? And what would it be like to fall in love? That's the story this film tries to answer. It explores different themes like what makes people different, what is the nature of love and relationships, and it's the poster child for _carpe diem_! If you weren't interested in this movie, by what I just wrote, walk by. If this sounded fascinating, I think this just might be the romantic film you've been looking for. I entered the theater more than a little tired and wasn't sure I would be able to stay awake. Not only did it hold my interest, I left feeling energized and a little yearning. 8/10

I just saw the BEST movie! I went to see this REALLY tired (I had just driven over 4,500 km in 4 out of 5 days and went to this movie to stay awake until it was an appropriate time to go to bed for the night). It was so much more than a young adult romance. It asked questions like: Am I defined by my shape, my gender, my colour? Have we a right to make decisions for ourselves that will compromise the ability of another to make their own decisions? What does respect or love look like and in the case of the latter does it have to have a “look”? And, finally, what would we be willing to sacrifice for the one we love most in the world and/or a total stranger? This storytelling is exquisitely beautiful. And, as one of the major protagonists is played by a number of actors the emotional tension could have easily dissipated were it not for the entirely captivating character inhabited by young actress named Angourie Rice. A wonderful journey. A new favourite movie. I give it a 10 out of 10. [Romantic Fantastic Drama]
