Featured reviews
Always is a beautifully written love story that will really draw you in. I was hooked from the beginning. Derek Ting really outdid himself with this one. This is the kind of film that you find yourself watching time and time again. You will feel a wide range of emotions from joy, anger, and sadness. I won't spoil it for you, but be sure and grab a tissue or two. It will really make you think about life and relationships.
The cinematography is breathtaking. I never realized how beautiful Hong Kong can be, and now I find myself wanting to visit because of this movie.
Liam (Derek Ting) and Yen (Danni Wang) are a very realistic couple and you find yourself really rooting for them. The actors are so realistic too, so you feel like you could find yourself and your partner in the characters.
I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone. It would make a great date night film.

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!

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.

This has happened to me!
The two characters Yan and Liam remind me of the relationship I had in Hong Kong with a mainland Chinese. She came from a wealthy family and had serious issues with my family background, or at least her father did. Despite having been fairly successful in my career, it was never good enough.
This happens a lot and it's partly a cultural thing but also a part of the one child policy. So real. So so very real.

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.
