Bill Nighy Gets A Low-Key Showcase With “Sometimes Always Never”

hollywoodnews.com:

There are few more enjoyable actors to watch than Bill Nighy. He always just seems to be having a good time, mellow and easy-going.

It’s rare that a filmmaker gives him a starring role, but he has close to one here in Sometimes Always Never, a film that’s been on the festival circuit for almost two years.

That might suggest a problematic flick, but that’s not the case. Though the movie ultimately falls just shy of being recommendation worthy for me, it’s still a pleasant yet melancholic dramedy, with Nighy at the center.

He’s not let loose like he usually is when at his best, like in Richard Curtis penned roles, but this is one of his fuller performances to date.
