Every Day (2018)

Maybe because i watched the korean movie that this was inspired from (i think?) first before i watched this, i thought that this was a weak version of the same movie. this movie is slow and it was just not very good to be honest

Fmovies: i don't know who's copying the other or the book...but in my opinion there's no point, the korean movie leave to the audience a little more sensuality and deepness...the US one is too much predictable and sound too much "Hollywood", even if none of both movies succeed to be a real good movie ... Korea 1 - USA 0

So this is a very high end concept, a good idea and it might also make a great science fiction movie. Or at least a way better drama than the one we get served here. The psychological element goes a bit awry and gets replaced by romance or rather a romantic idea. Therefor the movie also get into the traps of many cliches that riddle romantic movies.

So while the movie has strong foundations, the building on top of it is still quite shaky at best (if you allow me this analogy). If you are young and do not care too much about going deep into subjects, you probably will like this. And I don't mean that in a bad way at all, we're talking movies here and entertainment - and above all taste in things! So take that into consideration and watch if you want a light hearted romantic movie with quite some twist to it

Every Day fmovies. Forget polygamy, hows about dating someone new every day? Well, the same someone who happens to inhabit a different skin upon waking. Great premise for a movie, so here we are.

"Every Day" is one of those giddy teen fantasies riding on a boffo, supernatural twist, that attempts to handle a crazy concept in a serious manner. And it kinda works. Works because the topics at hand - relationships, diversity and why we love - are universal enough to carry a twilight zone scenario.

What could have been a comedic mess, or a ridiculous sci-fi drama, instead turns out to be a charming, clever little film, delivering a table full of food for thought. Sure it gets a bit sappy at times, but the tissue industry needs the support.

The book upon which the movie is based easily makes it onto my all-time favorite list, but the movie, although there were elements I found enchanting, is forgettable. For the short list of things I liked: they did quite a good job casting the character of Rhiannon; she was charming and believable. I liked the song that replaced Kate Bush's "Running up that Hill" (which is a great song!), and I appreciated being able to see how A embodies other people. However, the movie does a considerably poor job taking on the serious themes of love and identity that underlie A and Rhiannon's love story. The book is an easy read, but it takes on profound questions, such as "Are we humans first, or souls first?", "Who am I?" and "Why do we love who we love?". Moreover, about halfway through the movie, it diverged completely the book in order to close the story arc in its neat 90-minute time frame. While it the book Rhiannon's skepticism about getting involved with A persists throughout, the movie assigns her the task of convincing A to attempt to outlast the 24-hour timetable he had previously believed to be inviolable. In the book, it was a plot twist when A discovered that the Reverend was also a host to another spirit like A. The movie erased this sinister subplot of Reverend Poole and Nathan entirely.

All in all, do yourself a favor and skip the movie but read the book, stat.

I absolutely loved the book, and was thrilled to know that it was being released as a movie - until I watched it, and was heartbroken. The perspective is told entirely from Rihannon's point of view, whereas the book is completely from A's. An entire side-plot related to Nathan was completely dropped, barely mentioned as an aside, and pointless characters were given lots of screen time while hardly having a mention in the book. Mechanics of A's ability are completely changed just to suit the 'teen romance' of the movie, and what I felt were important body switches, showing real diversity, were either completely ignored, or underplayed. The movie could've done so much for representation, but it just didn't care to.

If you can watch this and separate from the book, or aren't reading the book at all, honestly it plays as an averagely low-budget, dull teen movie, with nothing special going for it.
