Director Sandra Wollner has consistently showcased a singular vision, particularly in her previous work, 'The Trouble with Being Born', which explored unsettling themes through the lens of an android child. With 'Everytime', Wollner continues her exploration of loss from an unconventional perspective, albeit with a more empathetic touch, as reported by IndieWire.

The German-language film centers on Ella (Birgit Minichmayr), her youngest daughter Melli (Lotte Shirin Keiling), and her older daughter's former boyfriend Lux (Tristán López). Following a devastating tragedy in Berlin, the trio embarks on a holiday to the Spanish island of Tenerife. What unfolds is a deeply affecting journey where the very environment seems to shift and reshape around their shared, unfathomable sorrow.

'Everytime' has been a standout on the festival circuit, earning the Un Certain Regard prize at Cannes and enchanting attendees at prestigious events from Toronto to New York. Its critical reception has been overwhelmingly positive, with IndieWire's David Ehrlich awarding it an 'A' grade, praising its intricate construction. Ehrlich remarked on the film's "ineffable power," noting how Wollner "tears apart the fabric of her film’s reality at the same time as she threads it together."

The accolades continue to mount, with 'Everytime' securing multiple Gotham Award nominations, including Best International Feature, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay. This critical momentum has solidified its position as Germany's entry for the Best International Feature Film Oscar, generating significant anticipation for its awards season run.

For audiences eager to experience Wollner's latest masterpiece, 1-2 Special, the film's distributor, is planning a limited Oscar-qualifying run at New York City's Lincoln Center starting November 6. A wider theatrical release is slated for February 12, 2027.
