The film "Everybody Wants to Fuck Me" has sparked discussion about its portrayal of masculinity and relationships. According to Variety, the movie merges romantic comedy, body horror, and gender-war satire. TheWrap describes it as a film that attempts to blend multiple genres, but ends up feeling disjointed.
The movie follows Adam, played by Taron Egerton, a man who presents himself as a "nice guy" who prides himself on being different from toxic males. He claims to be a true ally to women and displays his interests in literature and cinema. However, as TheWrap notes, a clever opening sequence reveals that Adam may not be as different from the men he criticizes as he seems.
The film's director, Jonathan Schey, makes his feature directorial debut with "Everybody Wants to Fuck Me". Taron Egerton delivers what TheWrap describes as his most eclectic performance.
