Sometimes Always Never

This is a very quirky film, which struck me as a bit like a play only obviously a film version of it I suppose. It seemed somehow quite touching, being primarily about a father trying to re-connect with his son, spending time with him and sharing family tales - imparting his wisdom. In some scenes there's not much dialogue, thus it can be pretty quiet, which may bore some people but it does have a certain atmosphere to it. I like the fact most of the settings feature quite stylishly coloured surroundings. I thought symmetry played quite an important part in the cinematography somehow. It has quite a British feel to it too, unsurprisingly. If your a fan of the wordplay game Scrabble, then I reckon you would enjoy this film. Also, if your wondering about the title of the film, it is specifically explained (i.e. what it means) during the film. Bill Nighy, Sam Riley and Alice Lowe both give very decent performances, in my opinion (also present are Jenny Agutter and Tim McInnerny). There are some amusing lines of dialogue, though I'd say its more of a quirky drama than an 'out and out' comedy film as such. Yes, I'd recommend this film, I thought it was both quite nicely understated and surprisingly touching.
