You can find these under our playlist tab on our Soundcloud feed as well as all our other new movie reviews in our Quarantine collection including Lost Girls, The Banker, Big Time Adolescence, & Blow The Man Down. 2020 may be off to a tumultuous start, but we have been getting some great films, and this is certainly another rave review from us. As always, our OSP movie reviews begin with a non-spoiler section that introduces the film with a production profile and builds to a discussion about it’s Oscar chances before we play a spoiler warning and dive into the plot. This particular film does get very serious at times, as do we in this review. But it’s worth it. Never Rarely Sometimes Always is an emotional film watching experience, and although a trigger warning may be in effect for this episode, please know that we’re always in your corner, willing to listen to you, our audience as much as we’re willing to talk on the show. So do please stay safe and healthy during this quarantine. Hopefully, you do have the time to watch more movies with us during this crisis, and we wish you all nothing but the best.
