Sometimes Always Never

Sometimes Always Never (2019) is a British drama-comedy directed by Carl Hunter that you can watch online on iFILM. Alan is a sharply dressed tailor who has spent years hunting for his eldest son Michael — gone since the night he walked out mid-Scrabble game and never came back.

The search pulls Alan toward his younger son Peter (Sam Riley), from whom he's long been estranged, and toward a mysterious online Scrabble opponent whose playing style feels unsettlingly familiar. Bill Nighy carries the film as a man who holds himself together through the precision of a well-cut suit while the rest of his life stays frayed. Jenny Agutter, Alice Lowe and Tim McInnerny round out the cast.

Carl Hunter made something quiet and oblique — less about whether Michael is found than about what long grief does to everyone left behind. Stream Sometimes Always Never (2019) online on iFILM.
