Not a Day Goes By

About This Movie

Not a Day Goes By is this intriguing puzzle of a film. Directed by Max Devereaux, who also stars as the flower shop attendant, it captures fleeting moments in a contemplative way. The long-takes give it an almost hypnotic quality, like you’re watching life unfold in real-time, but then you realize the scenes aren’t in any strict order. They drift in and out, playing with memory and the nature of time. There’s a sense of intimacy and melancholy wrapped in the day-to-day routine of the shop, and Devereaux’s performance feels raw and genuine. It’s not your typical narrative structure, which might be off-putting for some, but it’s that very distinctiveness that makes it feel like an art piece in motion.
