Fifth about The Seventh

Everytime (2026)

Everytime: Sandra Wollner’s poetic, touching drama about grief and loss tells the story of a family (a mother and two daughters) and how they deal with the death of the oldest; her boyfriend, present when she died, also gets entangled. Visually, the film is rather arresting, with cinematographer Gregory Oke shooting many scenes with an extra-long lens (often in extra-long takes) and many others with precise, split frames. Grief shows in the way the small chores are performed, giving the film a slice-of-life feel. Editor Hannes Bruun gives the film a slow pace, but the poetry (visual and thematic) makes this a rewarding experience. Birgit Minichmayr plays the mother, and her sadness is palpable, both in her posture and face; Lotte Shirin Keiling, as the petulant, smart younger sister, is quite good; Tristán López, who plays the boyfriend, gives a more one-note performance. The film certainly goes to unexpected places, and that makes it richer to watch.
