The most striking thing about 'Everybody Knows' is just how real it all feels, thanks to the realistic, convincing dialogue and the outstanding performances across the board. This fantastic sense of realism allows you to be invested in the lives of the characters in the first act, and really amps up the tension in the second. It does take a while to really get going and overall it feels quite long, however it never comes close to ever being 'boring' as you always feel involved with the mysteries. Also, it wraps up quite quickly and the resolution isn't as satisfying as it could have been, but this isn't too much of an issue as it doesn't tarnish what has come before. Overall, it's highly recommendable to fans of both thrillers and family dramas, as it is satisfying on both fronts. 7/10
