Sometimes Always Never

Drama Comedy


 

A son leaves the family home after a dispute with his father in a scrabble game and has been missing ever since.

If you hear a movie described as 'quirky' it can often be one to approach with caution, but that's not the case for "Sometimes Always Never". This is a satisfyingly idiosyncratic film that can be embraced. The title hints at the elegance of the story, and it's taken from advice about buttons on a blazer jacket - the top one is sometimes buttoned, the middle one always, and so on. An endearingly whimsical story of family relationships under stress, and it is captivating. Whenever.
