    Emanuel Levy

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

    This lesbian film belongs to the reunion genre--like Return of the Secaucus Seven--but is not much fun.

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

    Kevin Thomas

    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.

    There's nothing here that hasn't been done before a million times, and at least a million times better.

    With no distinct storyline or one strong individual character to lead the way, the film comes to feel patched together.
