Everything Now (2016): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 2016, Everything Now is a thriller film directed by Richard Berry, running about 114 minutes.

What it’s about. This gripping and wrenching thriller tells the story of Ilan Halimi who was kidnapped for ransom in a Paris suburb. His captors, who dub themselves The Gang of Barbarians, operate under the assumption that his Jewish heritage means he is worth a lot of money. Taking the audience through the harrowing experience of the Halimi family and sharing a searing insight into Ilan's vicious ordeal, the story tracks the massive but futile investigation doomed by near-misses and tragedy that triggered a national outcry. For 24 days the police, insistent upon handling the case as a normal for-ransom kidnapping, failed to recognize the anti-Semitic overtones of the abduction. Faithfully reenacting events from the view of the various characters, Tout, tout de suite raises troubling questions about the state of anti-Semitism and race relations in contemporary France.

Who’s in it. Everything Now stars Richard Berry as Daniel Halimi, Steve Achiepo as Youssouf Fofana, Marc Ruchmann as Ilan Halimi and Romane Rauss as Zelda, among others.

How it landed. With an audience score of 6.3/10, Everything Now has drawn a solid, mixed-to-positive response.
