Spielberg and Dreyfuss team up yet again for an extremely good romantic comedy-drama. It also supports very good performances, with great chemistry between characters. Yet again John Williams gives us a solid score. This film also works as a very nice... Full review

Deseret News
Always" has some very funny scenes with Pete using his angelic influence on those he encounters, capped by a hilarious moment with a crazed old man (Roberts Blossom) who seems to hear Pete's words outright. Not that there aren't some good things in "Always," but it's yet another example this Christmas season of the sum not living up to the parts. ... Full Review

For all its state-of-the-art special effects, Always is essentially a remake of the 1943 Spencer Tracy-Irene Dunne fantasy vehicle A Guy Named Joe--minus the wartime context. Richard Dreyfuss stars as a reckless fire-fighting pilot who is killed in what was to have been his final mission. ... Full Review

The effects are so spectacular, they're not believable. Another problem seems to stem from Spielberg's love of spectacular special effects. All the movie's risks seem to be the same - laughable. ... Full Review

If there can be such a thing as "forgotten Spielberg", 1987's Empire of the Sun fits that category. Along with 1989's Always , Empire stands as possibly the director's least well-known film, though I have a feeling 1997's Amistad will... ... Full Article
