How to Watch ‘Never Rarely Sometimes Always’ on VOD

Good news for cinephiles: 2020 Sundance-favorite Never Rarely Sometimes Always is now available to rent on VOD for an at-home theatrical experience.

This quiet British-American drama about a teen girl dealing with an unwanted pregnancy enchanted audiences at the Sundance Film Festival in January, so much so that it took home the Silver Bear Grand Jury Prize. Technically, the Focus Features film opened in theaters just over two weeks ago, on March 13, but has been pushed to an early “digital renting” period following in the footsteps of many Universal films attempting to respond to the coronavirus pandemic. (Focus Features is a subsidiary of Universal Pictures. The Jane Austen adaptation Emma, also now available to rent on VOD, is also from Focus Features.)

Starring Sidney Flanigan in a breakout debut acting role, Never Rarely Sometimes Always is about a teenager named Autumn who is forced to travel by herself to New York City, after being denied an abortion in her small hometown in Pennslyvania. She and her cousin Skylar (Talia Ryder) take the bus by themselves and spend a scary two nights in New York City, homeless, with little money and nowhere to stay. Written and directed by Eliza Hittman, it’s a moving portrait of just how dangerous abortion laws can be. It’s not exactly a cheery watch; but it is a great film, so if you’re looking to pass the time this weekend, Never Rarely Sometimes Always is a solid choice. And for New Yorkers, it’s also a great chance to see the city that we are no longer allowed to explore. Here’s how to watch Never Rarely Sometimes Always on VOD.
