Never Rarely Sometimes Always

Never Rarely Sometimes Always is a critically acclaimed award-winning 2020 drama film about a 17 year old girl dealing with a pregnancy. I watched it on Amazon Prime.

Variety calls it "a quietly devastating gem". The Guardian calls it "profoundly moving". NPR says it "will stay with you forever".

Roger Ebert's website has a positive review. The Rotten Tomatoes critics consensus score is 99%.

  2. This sounds like it must be well made with those great review percentages. I haven't seen it though. Is it sad? It sounds like it might be.

    1. I wouldn't call it sad. Moving, though, and thought-provoking.

  4. I was a 17-year-old dealing with a pregnancy. I had an abortion. Thank goodness for Canadian healthcare.

    1. I'm glad you were able to access the health care you needed. Here, it's getting worse instead of better :(

    1. We use Prime a lot, but we order anything we can't find locally (which is a growing number of things) from Amazon and we watch more videos than most people. I have more movies in my HBO Max watchlist, though.
