Always (2018) is a quietly poignant exploration of grief and familial responsibility. You really feel the weight of Sam's struggle as he juggles caring for his mother and dealing with the looming presence of his estranged father. The atmosphere is heavy, almost suffocating at times, which lends itself to the emotional gravity of the story. There’s a rawness to the performances; the actors convey a depth of feeling that draws you in rather than overwhelms. It's not flashy, but it has this understated power that lingers with you. The pacing feels true to life, meandering at times, which reflects the journey of moving through loss. Definitely a film that sticks with you.
Always has had limited releases, which contributes to its rarity in collector circles. Its indie origins and the unknown director add an element of intrigue for film enthusiasts. There's a growing interest in its emotional depth and the way it handles complex family dynamics, making it a film that might gain traction among niche collectors. Keep an eye on this one; its scarcity means it's likely to be a hidden gem in the future.
