In an interview earlier than the movie’s premiere, Wollner advised The Hollywood Reporter in regards to the inspiration for the film: “Why does the sun go on shining? One would think that after a tragedy like the one that happens in the film, the world ought to have the decency to stop. … The indifference of the universe, which doesn’t care about our pain — that’s what interested me.”
THR‘s review known as Everytime, “an intriguingly understated grief drama,” highlighting that “its giant twist of an ending leaves us with something to contemplate.” And it famous: “As a portrait of human behavior in the wake of a terrible loss, the film feels both studied and compassionate, revealing how everyone tries their best to move on but can never quite get [the grief] out of their minds.”
