Hanna Flint Time Out Like 'Sliding Doors' with added subtlety and soul, this swooning love story spins the idea of 'what if?' into something deeply romantic. Rated: 4/5 Mar 19, 2020 Full Review Tim Robey Daily Telegraph (UK) The film is like finding one of Proust's madeleines tucked inside a short story by Borges, where it keeps vanishing and reappearing. Rated: 5/5 Feb 20, 2020 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian It balances what is with what might have been and what could still be, and, although the result is maybe a bit less substantial than Castro intended, there is a certain literary elegance in the way he sketches it out. Rated: 3/5 Feb 20, 2020 Full Review Brian T. Carney Washington Blade With bold and exciting artistic choices, first-time director Lucio Castro creates a steamy mystery about two men who meet on the streets of Barcelona. Dec 7, 2022 Full Review Cris Kennedy The Canberra Times (Australia) Castro asks some hard questions for the audience to ponder about those brief moments that could have become real things, real relationships, had we the maturity to allow it for ourselves. Rated: 4/5 Aug 17, 2022 Full Review Jason Adams My New Plaid Pants It is the lemniscate toppled over, the infinite seen sideways -- the top and the bottom, here in all its explicit double entendre, reciprocated Jan 14, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

PridePosterStudios Surely I’m not the only one who had no idea when flashbacks were happening and when they weren’t. Vapid, and felt like it was a century long. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/14/24 Full Review Selim K This is one intricate literary take on love in movies that is hard to explain. The title about a documentary that is never realized but mentioned in the movie provides a key to the mysterious timelines in the movie as a metaphor. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review david l End of the Century tried to emulate Before Sunrise in its approach, but did not quite manage to pull it off. Although the film is very well shot, elegant, sensual and featuring some interesting conversations and sweet moments, the characters at the center of it were not as well developed as the movie demanded and the whole premise was somewhat implausible in the first place. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Mind blowing, one of the best movies I have ever seen 🤯🍾 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Apollo M The story is quite confusing. But other than that, if I got the story right, it is quite alright. The acting and directing are great. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/08/20 Full Review Audience Member Hum, what is happening with the timeline?! Spoilers : one of them says they've already met before then the films "goes back" in time without any sort of warning. Then it comes back to the present, only to go to some alternate reality for a short while (without any notice, again!!) before coming back to the present again. That aside, the film is alright. The characters are likeable and sweet. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
