Winner of the Un Certain Regard Prize at Cannes, Sandra Wollner's Everytime transforms a drama of family grief into a work of sublime imaginative scope. A year after a shocking tragedy, Ella (Birgit Minichmayr), her young daughter Melli (Lotte Shirin Keiling) and teenager Lux (Tristan Lopez) finally take the family holiday they never had in Tenerife. Under the island's subtropical sun, past and present begin to overlap as blame and forgiveness challenge the memories of the bereaved. Gently playing with time and perspective, Wollner reveals new emotional truths without ever diminishing the raw immediacy of loss. Like a great novel, Everytime rewards close attention with ever-deepening emotional and philosophical insight, while its visual language reaches heights only the best cinema can.
"Might be the best in Cannes this year … it has stayed in my bloodstream."
The Film Stage
"An exceptionally well-calibrated study of an untimely death and its aftermath."
