Fall 2019: Sometimes Always Never

Originally screened: November 20

Director: Carl Hunter

Country: United Kingdom

Runtime: 92 minutes

Alan (Bill Nighy) is father to two sons. Michael, his eldest, left home after a dispute years ago, with no word since. Peter (Sam Riley), is still in contact, but it’s strained contact. To his credit, perhaps, Alan doesn’t burrow into the past — instead, his obsessions lead him toward games (online Scrabble and romantic set-ups), which, he hopes, will turn out to be markers on the path to reconciliation for his family after all.
