Always

I found 'Always' on NOWTV video on demand & enjoyed. Strong acting by Derek and Danni, cinematography shot in great locations in Hong Kong and Shanghai, cross-border love story also addressing issues of family obligations and finance industry ambitions. Loved the soundtrack! Been listening to Big Phony's music on rotation since watching, particularly song 'But I Will, Everyday'. Great to see a movie addressing serious real world issues in Hong Kong in an entertaining way. Those of us living & working in Asia will appreciate the reality of themes and story. Excellent to see such a well-made low-budget movie reaching a global audience. Congratulations to NiQ Lai for his producing credit. Wishing Derek, Joyce & team the best on this journey.

This is a difficult film to review as there are obvious weaknesses. It is nice to look at and the cinematography balances indifferent acting. The story is not demanding but has a simple charm Old fashioned romance and lost love a story worth telling.. The work which has gone into it does not deserve the vitriolic criticism of one of the reviews posted here any more than it justifies the effusive praise of another.. The director displays some nice touches and must have enjoyed the beautifully framed shot in the chapel towards the end. My compliments to the producer for getting it made and the director for working with limited resources. I for one am grateful to watch a film free of the curse of CGI and noisy intrusive soundtracks I tip my hat to director Derek Ting for telling a simple story well.

With all the whitewashing controversy going on, I found this movie refreshing and invigorating.

This is a solid romance film that gives a unique perspective because of the leads backgrounds. It adds a lot of flavor for me as I'm really tired of seeing the same main characters with the same...well everything. Please cast somebody other than a guy named "Chris"!

The acting is wonderful, I won't reveal the ending but, the 2 actors really yanked heart strings. Everything about this film gives me goose bumps of where cinema can go!

A love story taking place in Hong Kong is fraught with conditions dictated by family's traditions. The scenes are a bit wonky at times, yet there's an overall cohesive quality that keeps the story engaging. The journey is beautifully filmed with an artistic viewpoint and gorgeous audio ambience. If you're a fan of independent films, this may be a pleasant surprise.

There was another movie that came out around the same time "Already Tomorrow in Hong Kong" and 2+ reviewers overtly mention it in comparison slamming this film who are blatantly from their crew. The lack of integrity of these individual(s) is appalling.

I enjoyed this movie. It was good. I'm not a movie reviewer but since I saw the Paramount release sign in the movie while watching it, I assume other movie people thought it was good too. Anyways, it's just a movie but feel compelled to write this because I was moved emotionally watching it.
