Taron Egerton's Sharp New Horror-Comedy Flips the 'Obsession' Formula | TIFF Review

In Jonathan Schey’s debut feature, Everybody Wants to F*ck Me, Taron Egerton’s charming and charismatic Adam would like you to know he’s a nice guy. He’d like everyone to know that, in fact; that’s why he reads the right books, always makes sure he’s watching the right films, carries a Mubi tote bag wherever he goes, and knows exactly how to make a woman feel like she’s met one of the few decent men left in London. Despite his level of awareness of the type of guy he doesn’t want to be, Adam has spent so much of his time building up a convincing image of himself as a “nice guy” that he has never once stopped to ask whether any of it actually makes him a good person at the core. It’s this question that powers one of the most surprising films of 2026, which sees director Schey have plenty of fun poking at that idea with several threads.
