Every Day

Right now you can watch Every Day in Australia on Amazon Prime Video and FilmBox+, and in the US on FilmBox+ — and it goes further with its ideas than most genre entertainment bothers to. The runtime earns every minute, with nothing here that feels like padding. 2,303 people have weighed in on TMDB, and the verdict leans heavily positive. Angourie Rice leads a cast that never lets the concept overwhelm the characters. Start it on Amazon Prime Video whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Every Day is worth clearing space for. What makes Every Day work is that the ideas never crowd out the people having them. 16-year old Rhiannon falls in love with a mysterious spirit named “A” that inhabits a different body every day. Feeling an unmatched connection, Rhiannon and “A” work each day to find each other, not knowing what the next day will bring. Angourie Rice and Justice Smith lead a cast that never lets the concept overwhelm the characters. Every Day came out in 2018. Every Day resists the temptation to explain everything, trusting the audience to sit with ambiguity. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

Sci-fi fans who want ideas alongside the spectacle will find Every Day genuinely rewarding. It rewards viewers regardless of what else is in their watch history. The complete film is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Angourie Rice anchors it with a performance that makes the more abstract moments feel personal. If you have been burned by ambitious sci-fi before, this is the exception.
