But Always Ratings & Reviews
Cinema Escapist
Richard Yu
But Always is one of those films that, like many management consultants' strategies, had the potential to be great, but was seriously hampered by poor execution.
Village Voice
Michael Nordine
It's possible that there's a worse movie tangentially related to 9-11 than But Always, though I don't advise seeking one out.
Film Journal International
Daniel Eagan
But this slow, gauzy, passive-aggressive romance never breaks out of its genre niche.
RogerEbert.com
Simon Abrams
"But Always" deserves every bit of scorn heaped upon it.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
Bathed in golden sunlight and often accompanied by a treacly piano score, Anran and Zhao Yongyuan make eyes longingly, but they don't connect in anything but the most superficial way.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
Unfortunately, writer-director Snow Zou lays on the treacle - and the tragedy - with such a heavy hand it sucks all the air out of the potentially poignant story.
Washington Post
Mark Jenkins
While most of "But Always" takes place in New York City, the Chinese drama's blend of sentimentality and romantic fatalism is very Asian.
