Reviews for Never Forever
1 - 19 (sorted by date; UK critics are listed first)
Never Forever has a lot going for it; it's just a shame its inner trashiness is concealed.
07/18/08
For a film as gentle, meaningful, and tender as Never Forever, the picture can be forgiven such old-fashioned melodramatic extravagance to make a lasting impression.
07/07/08
The indie version of a Harlequin romance
06/20/08
If Adrian Lyne directed a racy Lifetime movie, then asked Danielle Steel what to call it, you'd pretty much have Never Forever, a sudsy chamber piece that's engrossing despite its many plot holes and contrivances.
06/20/08
Top CriticIt's like a Lana Turner vehicle that's too meek to be Last Tango in Chinatown.
05/23/08
This erotically charged melodrama about two vastly different Korean experiences in New York City and the Caucasian woman straddling both is beautifully directed by Gina Kim who balances emotional subtleties and highly charged scenarios without ever losing
05/09/08
Never Forever has the steaminess of pulp and the stateliness of art.
05/02/08
Farmiga elevates the material of this melodramatic soaper into something nearly profound.
04/18/08
Top CriticAn engaging, sexy film the punctuates one of the many unusual ways that women today can become pregnant.
04/14/08
Every scene is powerfully packed with conflict, and the movie races along to a very uncertain climax.
04/13/08
A beautiful and insightful picture.
04/11/08
While Never Forever lingers in the thick of sex, lies and anxiety, it is something to see.
04/11/08
Top CriticWhat holds together the pulp of this torn-between-two-lovers fantasy is a restrained and elegant cinematic aesthetic.
04/10/08
Writer-director Gina Kim channels Douglas Sirk by way of Korean tearjerkers of the 1960s in this overheated melodrama.
04/10/08
Floridly plotted but acutely detailed.
04/08/08
Beautifully shot and acted, with a heartbreaking story, Never Forever is worth the effort.
02/03/07
Though marred by weak narrative and fake ending, Gina Kim's interracial romantic melodrama is extremely well shot, edited, and acted, particularly by the beautiful Vera Farmiga in a tough role as a loving, sexually repressed wife.
01/29/07
Vera Farmiga's fearlessly committed turn as a woman caught off-guard by her own desires and Kim's highly sensitive camera turn the film into a chamber-piece of hushed eroticism and surprising narrative grip.
