Never has so much talent come to so little because of a screenplay that's so adrift and aimless. Eckhart plays a psychologist with enough personal psychoses to keep himself preoccupied for a lifetime.

Reviews for Neverwas
1 - 6 (sorted by critic A-Z; Australian critics are listed first)
This is the kind of movie where a madwoman's outburst leads her to throw a mug that just happens to be filled with gold sparkles -- which can then be photographed cascading down on all the adorable loonies, in slow-motion.

Top Critic...unlikely to find much of an audience outside of the film festival circuit.

Seems rather a waste to use name actors and then not have them actually do anything.
07/03/07
At a time when most films lack subtlety, it is rare to find one as delicate, wistful and tender as 'Neverwas.'
06/21/08
Writer/ director Joshua Michael Stern has crafted something more than a mess and something less than a film that hits home. Neverwas never does quite win us over.
