It may not improve on the Raymond Carver short story that inspired it, but Everything Must Go resists cliche and boasts a pair of magnetic performances from the perfectly cast Ferrell and Wallace.

A well-controlled film with a portrait at its centre that is astonishingly complete. Oct 14, 2011 | Rating: 4/5

I was not waiting for a punch line. I was not primed to laugh. I accepted Ferrell as Nick and, because of that, I was able to enjoy Everything Must Go on its own terms. May 15, 2011 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

This isn't Ferrell's first dramatic role; he played seriocomic leading men in Stranger Than Fiction and Woody Allen's Melinda and Melinda. But it's the first one that provides a glimpse at his possible future as a Bill Murray-style character actor. May 13, 2011 | Full Review…

By the end of ninety minutes you, along with most of the cast, wish that Halsey would move on with his life and put everyone out of his misery. Nov 30, 2018 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

The film is not quite there somehow-like Punch Drunk Love-level Adam Sandler, Ferrell needs a scene in which he busts out his signature belligerent yelling, or some kind of outburst, but he's just flat and defeated, and not in the Oscar-winning way. Nov 16, 2018 | Full Review…

Everything Must Go is not a comedy as imagined by most Will Ferrell fans, it instead takes Ferrell out of his usually funny-man comfort zone and puts him in a role about life's lessons and understanding those around us. Aug 23, 2018 | Full Review…
