Subtle, slow, and nearly unbearably sad, Never Steady, Never Still lives and dies in its performances -- and thankfully, the soft-spoken strength of Shirley Henderson is enough to keep a steady pulse.

Hepburn doesn't demand that her characters conform to norms of sacrifice and redemption, preferring to follow Jamie and Judy's meandering, unhurried journey to cognizance and mutual appreciation. June 22, 2018 | Full Review…

Bleak but sometimes beautiful, the performance-driven feature debut is meatier than its slender plot might suggest, with a strong sense of place and an unsentimental frankness about conditions many filmmakers would milk for sympathy. June 22, 2018 | Full Review…

It is plaintive and subdued, with a dual narrative focus that is not as satisfyingly developed or resolved as it might be. April 20, 2018 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

It's rather bleak but the camera work is exceptional, the pace languorous and Hepburn's screenplay deliberately ambiguous. March 1, 2018 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Kathleen Hepburn makes her debut with Never Steady, Never Still, and her skill behind the camera is evident as she captures the Canadian landscape with beautiful delicacy. However, the film falls apart in its subject matter February 20, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Kathleen Hepburn's film is spellbindingly beautiful, though its vistas are desolate; a visual strain of unsentimentality which weaves its way into the story. November 28, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Raw power lies in the small moments that layer on top of one another in an uncommonly unflinching directorial style that marks Hepburn out as a filmmaker of great potential. September 8, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

The long gestation period shows: every scene in Never Steady, Never Still feels focused and intentional, like someone has agonized over how to most directly and honestly express the characters' inner states. September 5, 2018 | Rating: 10/10 | Full Review…

The film becomes a journey of trials and tribulations with as much inspirational grace as crippling resentment. For every kindness comes an explosion of rage or embarrassment. June 20, 2018 | Rating: B | Full Review…
