On the surface, this strange film could leave you thinking that not much actually happened... but it's the idiosyncratic emotional journey, expertly portrayed by Nighy and the ensemble, rather than the destination that sticks with you. July 10, 2020 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

What the film does sustain, and quite remarkably, considering its serious theme, is a delicately comic tone. That's due in large measure to the screenplay by Frank Cottrell Boyce. June 18, 2020 | Full Review…

We remain engaged due to quiet performances made all the more impressive by how they cut through such noisy visual style. June 17, 2020 | Full Review…

It has a stylized, low-key eccentricity... Nighy is just fantastic. June 12, 2020 | Full Review…

One of those comedies that teeters on the edge of being dark, irredeemable, bitter, and funny... But it's an enjoyable film. June 12, 2020 | Full Review…

A sometimes wobbly, sometimes engaging, always well-acted tale of family estrangement and reconciliation. June 12, 2020 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

It's a delightful, charming slice of British quirk, helped over the line by Bill Nighy in full national treasure mode. August 15, 2020 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

This quirky film, which takes place in suburban England, won't appeal to everyone, but viewers who enjoy Sometimes Always Never will probably like the film more for the actors' performances than for the movie's somewhat thin plot. July 22, 2020 | Full Review…

It very much feels like a mediocre fringe festival script stretched to feature-length. July 13, 2020 | Full Review…

Sometimes Always Never is a sweet, soulful film about family...the retro vividity of the proceedings brings forth a very specific vibe - think Wes Anderson if he was making movies in the '70s...a seven-letter bingo of a film. July 12, 2020 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

While the film's stylized visuals make it pop and the performances are sympathetic and pleasant, the story is too ephemeral to make much of a mark. July 11, 2020 | Full Review…

Carl Hunter's quirky drama puts a lot of interesting pieces on the board, but can't put them together into something coherent. July 10, 2020 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…
