Our Review
Everything Must Go is a touching portrayal of a man at his lowest ebb and his unconventional path towards redemption. Will Ferrell delivers a surprisingly understated performance, breaking away from his comedic roots to explore the subtleties of despair and hope. The film deftly balances its somber themes with moments of humor and tenderness, resulting in a well-rounded and emotionally resonant experience. It is a reflective movie that may not cater to everyone’s tastes but offers a noteworthy divergence for Ferrell and a meaningful narrative.
