Diana Dabrowska Cinema Scope While the idea of hope rising from the ashes of tragedy might work on paper, in practice it undermines the severity of what has come before. The shift in mood suggests a film that is finally, for all its sinister power, quite naïve. Sep 26, 2017 Full Review Dominic Ellis 4:3 ... it doesn't seem interested in engaging with the complex social and political issues that should really saturate it. Rated: Not Recommended Apr 1, 2017 Full Review Theresa Smith Independent Online (South Africa) The viewer does step away with their own questions about what power they have in a similar situation and how much your race will dictate your agency. Rated: 4/5 Jul 1, 2016 Full Review Blake Howard Graffiti With Punctuation The Endless River's runtime outlives its pathos. Rated: 3/5 Jun 22, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member The languid pace may put some people off of this South African arthouse offering, but the abundant ambiguities will keep you thinking about it long after the curtain has fallen. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member -The Endless River is een 2015 Zuid-Afrikaanse drama film geregisseerd door Oliver Hermanus. Werd gescreend in de belangrijkste wedstrijd van het 73e Internationale Filmfestival van Venetië. Het is de eerste Zuid-afrikaanse film te worden genomineerd voor de Gouden Leeuw. Er werd ook getoond in de Contemporary World Cinema sectie van de 2015 Toronto International Film Festival. -Het is een film die een beeld van Zuid-Afrika naar voor brengt maar qua filmen wel wat stille momenten vertoont wat wel wat onwennig aanvoelt en ook vindt ik dat het algehele filmverhaal niet voltooid als compleet is. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Brilliant story, acting, cinematography, music. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
