Taron Egerton stars in genre-bending comedy ‘Everybody Wants to Fuck Me’

Taron Egerton stars in the new film ‘Everybody Wants to Fuck Me’, directed by Jonathan Schey, which recently premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival. The film is described as a genre-bending project that blends romantic comedy, dark thriller elements, and supernatural body horror, drawing comparisons to the works of David Cronenberg.

The story follows Adam, a seemingly progressive and charming man living in London, whose life takes an unsettling turn when women begin showing an intense, obsessive interest in him. Critics have noted the film’s exploration of performative masculinity and gender satire, though reviews are divided on its execution and tonal shifts. While Egerton’s performance has received consistent praise for its charisma, some critics expressed concerns regarding the film’s sexual politics and its transition from romance to horror.

On set, director Jonathan Schey noted that filming was occasionally complicated by a Jack Russell terrier that he described as a ‘diva’ due to its refusal to sit still on command.
