Overview
- Sandra Wollner’s Everytime won the top prize in Cannes’s Un Certain Regard and has prompted broad coverage in German papers in early August.
- Critics praise the film’s restrained, observational take on mourning that skips immediate melodrama and jumps forward to show how a family continues in daily routines.
- Reviewers note recurring formal devices—long blackouts, distant camera work, drone shots and a game-like square sun—that blur memory, perception and fantasy without offering clear answers.
- Birgit Minichmayr’s performance as the bereaved mother and Gregory Oke’s cinematography receive consistent acclaim for giving the film emotional depth and a haunting visual texture.
- Everytime continues Wollner’s themes of loss, ersatz relationships and unstable memory and opened in German cinemas in early August, where its experimental style is expected to shape audience debate and festival interest.
