Stan D @RT43522027 05/23/2025 I thought the book was much better.

Many of the presented polysemous, seemingly slice of life moments take surreal turns being vivid realistic according to a perspective, enticing engagement to mentally unfold the given layers based off of our own experiences. The applications are mostly tuned when the pacing doesn’t deter when the simplicity comes up empty.

A collection of moments and images that apparently have no connection, but do transmit a lot. See more David W @RT91245001 09/29/2023 About Endlessness is a visually compelling, vignette-based experimental art film. I would watch this again mostly to ascertain more meaning from its highly surreal and symbolic portrayal of seemingly unrelated stories united by only the film's setting and direction. See more Nick V @NickV1 11/30/2022 I wanted to give this film a chance because of the rave reviews by critics. But this was awful. The fact that it wasn't a typical narrative film and just a series of vignettes didn't bother me. It's just that almost all of the vignettes are pointless. They elicit no emotion in the viewer except, "Why am I watching this?" To me it's just lazy filmmaking. I have no script, I have no dialogue, I have no story, so I'll just put images together to create "poignancy". But it doesn't work. There wasn't one scene that mattered to me. This film isn't beautiful or sad or memorable, it's just empty. And the historical scenes? Why are they even there? I never write reviews online, but I wanted to spare others from getting stuck watching this. I've probably seen thousands of films in my life, and this is one of the five worst films I have ever seen. It's pointless. Don't watch. See more 05/13/2021 About Endlessness is definitely a strange experience. This is my first Roy Andersson film, and I’ve gotta say I’m mixed on his style. I appreciate the imagery and I thought the music was good as well. But the film felt dull and repetitive at parts. The film is only 78 minutes, but it feels much longer. The static camera and the vignettes that repeat the same themes over and over did nothing to make things exciting. However, I do see how people can get something out of this. I just didn’t. Overall, this wasn’t for me. It could be for you, but this just wasn’t my thing. See more Read all reviews
