This is a very good movie about a very serious matter. But as a side note I'd really like to know why they'd be carrying around such a big suitcase if they never got to change their clothes.

There are films that have the potential to make you think, this is one of those that makes you realise you have waisted your time!

Well done. A quality telling of a challenging, sad story. It is interesting how much is conveyed with so little dialogue and scenes filled with lots of silence.

Never Rarely Sometimes Always is a slow-moving film, but these young women will stay with you long after the film ends.

An enlightening script, expert ensemble acting and the most revealing film ever made about a young woman's right to choose.

As in her previous film, Hittman takes common events that happen in secret and bring them into the light.

Erick Estrada

Cinegarage

An astonishingly well-told movie, quiet, even with its imagery, it isn't aggressive despite the woman's tense situation. [Full review in Spanish]

Vague Visages

While their struggle is never melodramatic or grandiose, its effect is lasting, deeply felt and ultimately heroic.
