      Never Steady, Never Still

      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Subtle, slow, and nearly unbearably sad, Never Steady, Never Still lives and dies in its performances -- and thankfully, the soft-spoken strength of Shirley Henderson is enough to keep a steady pulse.

      Audience Member Set in the coldness of the Canadian landscape-with its bleak and hopeful conservatism against the elements-comes a struggle of physical decay matched only by the resilience of one woman's resolve to abstain from the burden of her condition on her son and the community that surrounds. As Guy Lodge (Variety) rightly notes, it's the serenity and stoic brokenheartedness that gets you in this debut from Canadian writer-director Kathleen Hepburn. FULL REVIEW: https://gortnaculhouse.com. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Hepburn doesn't demand that her characters conform to norms of sacrifice and redemption, preferring to follow Jamie and Judy's meandering, unhurried journey to cognizance and mutual appreciation. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member A tender and haunting portrait of loss, perseverance and isolation with achingly beautiful cinematography and career-defining performances by Henderson and Pellerin. Definitely recommend. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Glenn Kenny RogerEbert.com If you don't treat yourself to this movie, you will indeed be missing out on one of the best pieces of acting 2018 cinema has to offer. Rated: 3/4 Jun 24, 2018 Full Review Serena Donadoni Village Voice Hepburn doesn't demand that her characters conform to norms of sacrifice and redemption, preferring to follow Jamie and Judy's meandering, unhurried journey to cognizance and mutual appreciation. Jun 22, 2018 Full Review John DeFore Hollywood Reporter Bleak but sometimes beautiful, the performance-driven feature debut is meatier than its slender plot might suggest, with a strong sense of place and an unsentimental frankness about conditions many filmmakers would milk for sympathy. Jun 22, 2018 Full Review Andrew Murray The Upcoming It's unfortunate, then, that Hepburn is unable to keep the movie on track for it to fulfil the potential that is clearly there. Rated: 3/5 Feb 2, 2021 Full Review Katie Goh The Skinny Kathleen Hepburn makes her debut with Never Steady, Never Still, and her skill behind the camera is evident as she captures the Canadian landscape with beautiful delicacy. However, the film falls apart in its subject matter Rated: 3/5 Feb 20, 2019 Full Review Sarah Cartland Caution Spoilers Kathleen Hepburn's film is spellbindingly beautiful, though its vistas are desolate; a visual strain of unsentimentality which weaves its way into the story.
