Fun, laid-back, and sweetly sentimental, I’ve always put Always in the underrated department. Sure, it has flaws. No one will put it on the same level as E.T. or Lincoln. Still, Always is not without its own quirky charm. We rewatch and discuss!
This is a talky, cerebral little film, and a showcase for good actors. It just happens to be set in space. Think of Stowaway on those terms, and you’re much less likely to be disappointed.
Some audiences may find this film to be too mannered and deliberate, but I enjoyed watching Christoph Waltz’s character spin the webs that will eventually ensnare him.
