Critics Consensus

Understated yet impactful, End of the Century offers viewers a powerful love story, elegantly told.

Read Critics Reviews

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

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

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

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.

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.

It is the lemniscate toppled over, the infinite seen sideways -- the top and the bottom, here in all its explicit double entendre, reciprocated

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.

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.

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.

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.
