A genuinely delightful romance movie with a difference that will seesaw you between tears of laughter and tears of sadness. Spielberg knows how to make movies, it has to be said, and this one pushes all the right buttons.
"Always" is an engaging and absolutely splendid piece of entertainment which has been brought to the screen with tremendous visual artistry by Steven Spielberg. It unfolds in a way you might expect it to, but its ruminations on the profound themes of death and the afterlife are loaded with a powerful emotional poignancy which is never allowed to cross over into the more unappetising realms of the saccharine. It also has an appealing and positive outlook on life and death and it is really comforting to believe that death is not the end. It is not the glorious and wonderful book of life being closed for the last time, but it is merely the continuation of a journey to a well earned after life where each of us can finally rest in peace at last.
