Every Day (2018)
7/10
A HEADY ROMANCE...!
16 March 2021
From 2018, Angourie Rice (The Nice Guys) stars in this fantasy fable of a high schooler's wild day w/her boyfriend only to find out he's been possessed by an entity who inhabits bodies every day, never staying in the same person twice. Thinking it's some sort of prank, Rice encounters different people, both boys or girls, who hold the memories of their burgeoning relationship allowing it to continue since it seems Rice, at first put off by the possibility of having to restart the romance daily, soon grows to love this being. However as the tryst continues, the chameleon stays in the body of one her friends (Owen Teague) past his expiration date & soon starts to feel his mode of existence may not be the most ideal since the host body loses its identity the longer he stays inside which leads to a choice the couple in love must make. Taking inspiration from films as disparate as 50 First Dates, The Time Traveler's Wife or the director's, Michael Sucsy, own The Vow, this adaptation of a young adult novel pleases when you don't have to think about the wheres or whys of this strange yet fascinating creature & go w/the affair's flow.
