I don't like scrabble


Sometimes Always Never (2018)

Directed by Carl Hunter this film stars Bill Nighy, Sam Riley, Alice Lowe and Jenny Agutter. A single father obsessed with scrabble and his adult son go to view a body that may be the missing second son.

At times this film is a little too gentle and play like but it builds to a satisfying conclusion if you stick with it. The plot is a good look at loss and awkward family relationships. Some of the direction involves unusual choices and I wonder how much of that is a consequence of budget over style choice.

3/5
