This is a tense and intelligent film that deals with a difficult subject. It gives a realistic portrayal of a sex workers life as she comes into contact with Richard played by Ray Winstone. He is deeply troubled by something he won't or can't reveal, but he persists regardless of the cost to himself. She can only reply with the manners and behaviours of her trade. A very uneasy alliance develops which refreshingly avoids the usual clichés.Winstone's character's torment is palpable, its all there under the surface. It takes a while for the point of the plot to emerge but its worth the wait. There is a sub-plot however that doesn't quite resolve adequately. Generally dark and claustrophobic in tone it is leavened with earthy humour. A good solid independent film.

This story contains two principle actors and most of the film is them in conversation. if you like action films you will not like this, if you like films with emotional content, as the focus then this is your type of film. the actors are very good, the script is very good and film works, i believed it and i found it enjoyable to watch. the film has no gratuitous sex and is about relationships, life and the scrapes we get into...i would give it a watch. Ray Winston and Jan Graveson are cast well. Some people will hate the film for being slow especially at the start (and i have seen that on some of the reviews) but as i said it is a relationship based film..and relationships are slow at the start!

An absolutely uncanny performance from Jan Graveson as the Soho prostitute - her character, way of looking, her walk, her movements, facial expressions, tone of voice and the thoughts these implied were uncannily realistic. Her dialogue was so natural - her reaction to her oddly motivated and persistent client, her wariness that he might be violent and her irritation at some of his questions - that many lines could be anticipated before they were spoken. The pacing too was perfect - long pauses when she had to consider something, instant responses when she reacted instinctively. How much was owed to the writer-director is impossible to know from simply viewing the film. As a portrayal it was absolute perfection 10/10.

Just back from seeing this low-budget UK film, written and directed by Richard Hawkins and starring Jan Graveson as Naomi (a prostitute in a dirty room in London) and Ray Winstone as Richard (a mysterious character who only wants to visit Naomi to talk, play cards and ask questions).Filmed in very dark and cramped conditions, 'Everything' is claustrophobic and seedy from the start, but starts with much more potential than it actually fulfils. I could see the 'twist' coming from a long way away, although I can't fault the central characterisations of performances of Winstone and Graveson. It could have just been a little bit more off the wall than it is.
