TIFF 2026: Taron Egerton Shines in Everybody Wants to F*ck Me

Taron Egerton stars as a manipulative modern player in Jonathan Schey's new film, Everybody Wants to F*ck Me, which recently screened at TIFF 2026. Egerton plays Adam, a thirty something art gallery worker who weaponizes soft boy aesthetics, indie film posters, and a cute dog to win over women at bars. Critics note that Egerton does a phenomenal job making this character believable and watchable, anchoring the project with charm and comedy.

However, the film struggles once its setup concludes. After a wild night involving Jessica Henwick's character Sofia, Adam faces bizarre circumstances and body horror elements. While the early scenes promise a sharp satire of modern dating tropes, the script quickly loses its focus and muddies its core message by the time the credits roll.

Despite the messy direction and frustrating ending, Egerton remains the main reason to watch. Fans of the actor will likely want to check out his bold comedic pivot when the film officially releases. Keep an eye on our site for more festival coverage and release updates.
