Review of Forever

And that's the challenge of dialogue that is ordinary. Script, casting, and direction, all, are spot on in this gentle, but strong, satire built almost entirely out of irony. The pace of the film enhances the irony of describing something as significant as our own mortality and couching that portrait in the most mundane traits of our relationships to others facing the same truths. I think this type of production takes real courage and succeeds very convincingly in showing our pettiness, without being afraid to also share genuine, real life, romance in discovering commitments that are made possible by these truths too.
