Overview
- Sandra Wollner’s Everytime, which won the main prize in Cannes’s Un Certain Regard in May 2026, began its German theatrical run on August 6, 2026.
- The film follows a Berlin family that must remake daily life after a sudden loss, moving from quiet, observational scenes into a holiday sequence where memory and fantasy blur.
- Reviews single out Birgit Minichmayr for her controlled, unsentimental portrayal of a mother and credit Gregory Oke’s long telephoto, sunlit imagery for shaping the film’s mood.
- Critics note Wollner’s formal risks — long takes, game- and video-like visual motifs including a square sun, and a sparse soundscape — as central to how the film explores replacement, care, and memory.
- Observers place Everytime with Wollner’s earlier work on loss and substitution and say its Cannes prize and early festival buzz make it a notable art-house title to watch this season.
