Vera Farmiga is the best American actress you've never heard of.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 18, 2008

If Adrian Lyne directed a racy Lifetime movie, then asked Danielle Steel what to call it, you'd pretty much have Never Forever, a sudsy chamber piece that's engrossing despite its many plot holes and contrivances.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 20, 2008

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 23, 2008

Never Forever has the steaminess of pulp and the stateliness of art.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 2, 2008

Vera Farmiga's fearlessly committed turn as a woman caught off-guard by her own desires and Kim's highly sensitive camera turn the film into a chamber-piece of hushed eroticism and surprising narrative grip.
