Always Yours (Spanish: Tuya siempre) is a 2007 Spanish neo-noir drama film directed by Manuel Lombardero. It stars Flora Martínez, Rubén Ochandiano, José Coronado, and Caroline Henderson. PlotThe fiction follows Lola and her boyfriend Alfredo, a petty criminal. The former begins working in a jazz club frequented by quaint individuals (including a forensic photographer, a young musician going blind, an alcoholic pianist, and a jazz singer) but the entry on the scene of mafioso Manuel Gay causes disruption.[1][2][3] Cast
ProductionThe 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] ReleaseThe 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] ReceptionJonathan 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] Accolades
