For all those who see him as a perfect master of all things cinematic, Steven Spielberg is fallible, and this film is proof of it. "Always" attempts to be touching and profound, but only manages to be cloying and sentimental. Spielberg is not good on romance, at least not based on the evidence presented here, and though the actors are very capable, the script is not worthy of them; it is very draggy and uninspiring. Best give this a miss.
