Critics consensus

“Its central romance takes occasional dives into excessive sentimentality, but Always otherwise flies high thanks to director Steven Spielberg's rousing feel for adventure.”

Janet Maslin

RTNew York TimesMay 20, 2003

Although Always is filled with big, sentimental moments, it lacks the intimacy to make any of this very moving.

RTWashington PostJan 1, 2000

An unfulfilled promise, a plummeting dove.

Roger Ebert

RTChicago Sun-TimesJan 1, 2000

The result is a curiosity: a remake that wasn't remade enough.

Even lesser Spielberg carries weight for the bravery on display and the ghost story playing its haunts.
