Always Yours (film)

The fiction follows Lola and her boyfriend Alfredo, a petty criminal. The former began working in a jazz club frequented by quaint individuals (including a forensic photographer, a young musician becoming blind, an alcoholic pianist, and a jazz singer) but the entry on the scene of mafioso Manuel Gay causes disruption.[1][2][3]

The screenplay was penned by Manuel Lombardero alongside Ignacio del Moral.[2] The film was produced by Pastora Delgado PC and Films d'Ultramort, and it had the participation of TVE.[2][6]

The film screened at the Málaga Film Festival in March 2007.[1][3] Distributed by Azeta Cinema,[2] it was theatrically released in Spain on 27 April 2007.[4]

Jonathan Holland of Variety considered that despite boasting a "pleasant jazz score", a clutch of "decent" performances, and coming with all the genre trimmings, "the script fails to whip them up into anything beyond an efficient exercise in style".[2]

Javier Ocaña of El País deemed Always Yours to be "a painful, somber film with a great sound and image design", featuring a "atmosphere, credibility and a formal design that is as risky as it is meritorious", but also pointed out at a flawed direction of actors, as each one of them performs in a different dramatic range.[7]
