Critics Consensus: Everybody Knows is somewhat less than the sum of its parts despite the efforts of an outstanding cast - and a disappointing step back for writer-director Asghar Farhadi.

It's as if The Big Chill's characters were all involved in Taken, with particular sets of skills ranging from condescension to passive aggression.
As he transfers his talents to a European setting and Spanish-speaking cast, Farhadi loses none of his remarkable ability to observe close relationships collapsing under stress.
Absorbing enough but lacking in any real sense of revelation...this undeniably gifted storyteller seems firmly stuck on Cruz control.
Feels meandering and indistinct.
Knowledge is power, but in Everybody Knows, nobody's quite certain about the whole truth.
The mystery becomes popcorn-chompingly compelling, each new piece of information adding shading and dimension to the true shape of the family. Nobody is above suspicion or below empathy.
Aunque funciona bastante bien como thriller dramático, Todos lo saben fracasa en llegar al espectador de la forma en la que los dramas anteriores del director lo habían hecho .
Everybody knows Asgard Fahardi is poignant. Everybody knows he taps the core. Everybody knows the performances are layered Showing how each character is torn.
Everybody Knows has a clear trajectory and it's not willing to wrap everything up in a neat bow, but rather lives off of the unsettling unknown.
There are still moments, whole sequences really, that remind us of Farhadi's gift for creating extraordinary tension out of domestic drama.
For any other filmmaker this film would unarguably be a great accomplishment, but for someone of Farhadi's caliber, everybody knows he's capable of much, much more.
Whether Farhadi -- who doesn't speak Spanish -- could get credible dialogues and performances was unclear... the result is more than satisfactory. [Full Review in Spanish]
