I love Richard Linklater’s films, so when I saw his new film, Every One’s Own, 2016, I decided to watch it. To be honest, he disappointed me a little, although, of course, the hand of the master is felt in him and the style is present. A young boy, Jake, arrives a couple of days before the start of school, is housed in a house that was provided for students who not only went to college, but also admitted to the baseball team, so that they do not suffer in the dorm, and, as a team player, immediately joins all the entertainment that these guys indulge in. And so we're watching an extremely busy program of entertainment and drinking, interspersed with different conversations. Towards the end, however, Jake manages to establish contact with the girl who rejected their company at first, and then the first day of classes came. Perhaps, this is how they did it there in the 80s, but I was somewhat tired of watching this, although at times they did not say quite stupid things and even it turned out that the main character wrote an essay on the myths of Ancient Greece, putting forward a quite interesting thesis there regarding the myth about Sisyphus.
