"Everyday People" - Reviews:

[ NYT ]  TV WEEKEND | 'EVERYDAY PEOPLE'
Looking for Subtle Harmonies With a Film About Race By ALESSANDRA STANLEY
HBO's movie turns out to be a small, charming tale about a failing Brooklyn diner that deals with the issue of race on the oblique.

[ DN ]  At this diner, sociology to go by David Bianculli
The pieces of the narrative in this HBO Films presentation tomorrow at 9 p.m. range from unconvincing to very compelling - but they don't quite fit together.

[ NYP ]  END OF THE LINE By ADAM BUCKMAN
Do not conclude from this description that "Everyday People" is little more than a bunch of strung-together conversations.
The sum of "Everyday People" is much more than its parts and when it was over, it left me wanting more.

I saw "Everyday People" at a film festival a few months ago. It's an excellent and very intelligent movie; it examines serious issues and really gives you a lot to think about afterwards. Despite its gritty Brooklyn setting, it's more like a European movie in its tone -- and that's a good thing. Plus it's great to see so many Broadway veterans having a chance to shine, in both large and small roles.
This is definitely worth seeing.
