| User ReviewMelanie BALWAYS: What a weekend. David (Henry Jaglom) and Judy (Patrice Townsend), real-life ex husband and wife, play out their relationship?s end (or re-beginning) in the house where they actually lived. An intensely personal film. Had I actually been there for the 4th of July weekend, where Judy and David are joined by best friends Lucy (Joanna Frank) and Eddie (Alan Rachins), I probably would have gone crazy, especially after they?re joined by Judy?s sister Peggy and her boyfriend. But being a fly on the wall and observing these couples deal with their issues and each other was fascinating. Lots of funny moments and poignant ones, as well. The question remains ? when is a relationship really over, especially if you still love each other? Jaglom?s in-your-face, improvisational style makes for a sharp level of reality. Are the lines blurred between acting and real life? I really enjoyed this film. See it and decide for yourself. |
| User ReviewBill BA couple on the verge of divorce spend a 4th of July weekend entertaining their friends and examining why their own relationship went in the shitter. To be honest, this has some interesting moments, but overall just seems to be sending the message that any relationship is a tenuous house of cards waiting to fall apart at any moment. The director and his ex-wife star as the leads, perhaps giving you an insight into why they divorced, if his nagging, passive-aggressive bullshit in the film is any indication of their real life. Worth a look for the indie film fan, but I wouldn't believe the 'better than Woody Allen' hype on the DVD box. |
| User ReviewPaul KImagine you're invited to a 4th of July weekend at a stranger's house. You've never met him, but you've heard good things. Now imagine that when you get there, the house is full of the most pretentious, annoying, neurotic, and selfish people you've ever met. That's what watching "Always" is like. Now that I've discovered that this was actually Jaglom and his real ex-wife playing the roles, I'm even more annoyed. It was bad enough when I thought this was fictional. Realizing that this was kinda real makes these people all the more unappealing. I give myself credit for sticking around for the whole thing. |
