Sal's empty eyes seem to have been living only on memories since he lost Zoe, the love of his life: memories like fragments of a shattered mirror that cannot be put back together. His sister Ebe, who observes her brother with growing concern, suggests he turn to Another End, a new technology that promises to ease the pain of separation by briefly bringing back to life the consciousness of those who have died. Sal finds Zoe again in this way, but in the body of another woman. A body he does not know but in which he is mysteriously able to recognise his wife. What was broken suddenly seems to come together again. In fact, Another End grants Sal the time to share a little more life with Zoe, to love her again, to be loved by her, to say goodbye in the end. But this is a fragile, ephemeral, insidious joy and, having arrived at the end of the programme, Sal has no intention of meekly watching as his love dissolves in the definitive loss of his wife. He tries to find her in Ava, the woman who had lent her body to Zoe’s consciousness. Perhaps love really does survive and eternity is promised through physical bodies.

Rather than interrogating the very world it creates, “Another End” hews another, easier path, turning around familiar notions of star-crossed romance resonating from beyond the afterlife

A film of intrigue and simmering power...

Slant Magazine

Despite its initially familiar trajectory, Another End disarmingly and purposefully sweeps us away on a wave of apathy not unlike that which plagues its main character, challenging our sense of who we fundamentally are as humans.

Rated: 2.5/4

Rough Draft Atlanta

["Another End" has] interminable pacing and a third act twist that feels somehow both out of nowhere and yet incredibly predictable,

If only the film’s stodgy beginning and its semi-interesting middle stretch could match the utter ridiculousness of Another End’s, well, end, then you’d at least have an entirely unpredictable kind of film.

WBGR-FM (93.7 FM - Monroe, WI)

Pretty funky-but-complex sci-fi, but once the situation becomes clearer it has an emotional vibe that I hadn’t really seen in a story before, the dinner with "Zoe," Sal and her family is uniquely awkward. The duo characters by Reinsve is also a highlight.

Rated: 3.5/5

Synopsis

Sal's empty eyes seem to have been living only on memories since he lost Zoe, the love of his life: memories like fragments of a shattered mirror that cannot be put back together. His sister Ebe, who observes her brother with growing concern, suggests he turn to Another End, a new technology that promises to ease the pain of separation by briefly bringing back to life the consciousness of those who have died. Sal finds Zoe again in this way, but in the body of another woman. A body he does not know but in which he is mysteriously able to recognise his wife. What was broken suddenly seems to come together again. In fact, Another End grants Sal the time to share a little more life with Zoe, to love her again, to be loved by her, to say goodbye in the end. But this is a fragile, ephemeral, insidious joy and, having arrived at the end of the programme, Sal has no intention of meekly watching as his love dissolves in the definitive loss of his wife. He tries to find her in Ava, the woman who had lent her body to Zoe’s consciousness. Perhaps love really does survive and eternity is promised through physical bodies.
