Taron Egerton in Sex Horror Comedy

Key Points:

  • "Everybody Wants to Fuck Me," Jonathan Schey’s debut feature, is a gender comedy and high-concept riff on chauvinism and dating, blending humor with a supernatural twist where the protagonist becomes irresistibly desired by women.
  • The film centers on Adam Samuels (Taron Egerton), a serial womanizer in London whose reckless behavior is challenged when women begin to pursue him uncontrollably, flipping the typical gender dynamics of sexual attention.
  • While the movie offers sharp social commentary on modern dating, male entitlement, and the performative nature of masculinity, its narrative struggles with depth, often prioritizing genre shifts and plot escalation over character development.
  • The film highlights the emotional toll of Adam’s actions on the women he manipulates and critiques the superficiality of his lifestyle, though it stops short of fully exploring the underlying motivations behind his behavior.
  • Premiered at the 2026 Toronto International Film Festival, "Everybody Wants to Fuck Me" has received mixed reviews, praised for its performances and concept but critiqued for its uneven execution and lack of meaningful resolution; it is currently seeking U.S. distribution.
