Every Day (2018)

Michael Sucsy’s 2018 film *Every Day* stands as a poignant and thought-provoking addition to his directorial repertoire, showcasing his talent for navigating complex emotional landscapes. The movie centers on Rhiannon, a teenage girl who falls in love with "A," a mysterious soul who wakes up in a different body every day. Sucsy masterfully handles the inherent challenges of this high-concept premise, imbuing the film with a genuine warmth and sincerity. He expertly portrays the burgeoning relationship and the profound questions it raises about identity, connection, and the true nature of love, ensuring that the emotional core remains accessible and deeply resonant for the audience. What solidifies *Every Day*'s place on a list of Sucsy's best work is its unique ability to explore universal themes through a fantastical lens, a hallmark of his storytelling. Similar to the emotional depth and humanistic touch he brought to films like *The Vow* and *Grey Gardens*, Sucsy grounds *Every Day* in relatable experiences of adolescent love and self-discovery, despite its otherworldly premise. He demonstrates a keen understanding of character development, allowing the audience to empathize with Rhiannon’s journey and the profound impact "A"'s existence has on her perception of the world and her own sense of self. The film's tender execution and Sucsy's signature ability to evoke heartfelt performances make *Every Day* a compelling and memorable exploration of what it truly means to love and be loved.
