A “spiritual sequel” to the director’s own Dazed and Confused set in the world of 1980 college life, Everybody Wants Some!! follows a group of friends as they navigate their way through the freedoms and responsibilities of unsupervised adulthood. A broad comedy based on Linklater’s own experience as a college sports jock, the film is a far more conventional work than Boyhood but is still a valuable addition to the college years genre. Full of larger than life characters, it sees Linklater, now the elder statesman of American indie cinema, kicking back and cutting loose.
Everybody Wants Some!!
