Eliza Hittman’s Never Rarely Sometimes Always was never tipped to be a blockbuster. Her heavily realistic, light on the swelling music movie of two young women in search of at least temporary safety and medical care wasn’t meant to be a feel-good movie, either. But “Oscar buzz is now steadily building (buzz that was given a major boost thanks to the Academy’s decision to relax its anti-streaming rules for films whose cinema releases have been scuppered by the pandemic).” – The Guardian (UK)
