Never Forever was a great movie. I was not sure what to expect since I do not recall the film ever being promoted even as an Indie; and I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed this film. I really love Vera Farmiga's acting and I truly enjoyed the diversity of the actors. I have started to really appreciate more diversity in the sex appeal Asian actors in general. This is the second film I have seen in the last month with Korean and other Asian actors and I find the quality of their acting superb and I find the actors very sexy, attractive and appealing. I am somewhat shock that more people have not seen this movie or appreciated what this movie bring to the table. Sophie was desperate to help her husband fight his "demons" and attempted to give him something to hold on to. This movie is a must watch. I truly loved this film!
(Spoilers !!) This is an annoying film.. as it insults the intelligence of its' audience for the sake of a storyline. As no intelligent individual who is committed to, and in love with their partner would enter into such a secretive, illicit, sexual affair in order to produce a child. They simply would do what tens of thousands of other couples do, and sign on to an in-vitro program. And from there this irrational story goes even further down the rabbit hole, when they abandon their spouse because the infidelity (and a previously undisclosed abortion) is uncovered, and the spouse (not surprisingly) refuses to enter into such a situation. The whole mess ends with her smiling, happily frolicking somewhere on a beach (maybe outside the country?) with her deported immigrant lover's kid.. and she is once again pregnant with another of his children. The ex left well behind, for no reason other than he shoots blanks..and she wanted a baby not from a tube, but the hot & steamy fashion. Usually like Farmiga a lot.. she was not bad here, but should have taken a pass on this contrived B- time waster.
Vera Farmiga plays an affluent woman whose life and marriage is unraveling. She and her Korean husband have been trying without success to get pregnant. Her suicidal husband has given up on the idea, but it's become an obsession with her, the one thing that will fix everything that's broken. She makes a proposition to a young Korean immigrant -- she will pay him $300 in cash every time they have sex, with an additional $30,000 in cash if she conceives.I had my doubts before watching this film that the screenplay would be able to make this premise plausible, but it does. It sets things up in such a way that they play out honestly, without feeling overly manipulated by the hands of a screenwriter or director. It helps tremendously that Farmiga gives such a good performance -- you have to really understand her character if the movie is going to make any sense, and we do, thanks to Farmiga's commitment to the role.Though ambiguous, the ending suggests a happy ending that DID feel implausible to me. But the rest of the movie is such a downer that I actually didn't mind it, because I just wanted something positive to happen to this poor woman.Grade: B+
A woman in love with her husband (he's suicidal) decides to have a baby to save his life. She's been to a fertility clinic - as has the lover she takes - so both know how artificial insemination works; but, instead of using the method thousands of people use every year around the world (the $5 turkey baster), they engage in coitus. We also are to believe that although the immigrant is in love with his fiancée, he doesn't suggest the obvious alternative to intercourse. Further, even though this is a business arrangement, the first time she's with her sperm donor, she takes off all her clothes, as if it's a seduction. Plus, her husband doesn't notice when $30,000 goes missing from their bank accounts. Does all this seem to demand more willing suspension of disbelief than even most Hollywood fare? Far fetched on all counts.
