Until the End of the World Reviews

…more of a mood piece than a compelling story…

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 24, 2023

[A] sci-fi masterpiece.

Full Review | Aug 22, 2018

The film is funny, and the story has all the logic -- or illogic -- of a dream. It never aspires to anything more concrete.

Full Review | Jul 25, 2018

What appears to be a cosmopolitan picaresque moves from moment to moment to momentousness,.. Wenders' dream is only just now released in an integral, near-5-hour walkabout... A great and poetic and caring film has arrived at last.

Full Review | Nov 18, 2015

Before, one left the theater befuddled; one now leaves the theater equally befuddled but also moved, even genuinely disturbed.

Full Review | Sep 3, 2015

Watching it now, even with its dull patches, it seems like a miracle.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/5 | Aug 27, 2015

Much of Wenders' sprawling saga is absurd, and some of it pretentious, yet set in 199, this film, like all of his previous work, raises interesting questions about the role of modern technology and its impact on identity and interpersonal communication.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 21, 2003

Thought-provoking romp by German film director Wim Wenders, a global hopping cinematic philisopher.

Full Review | Jul 18, 2003

Contains a few spectacular moments, but feels misguided overall.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 4, 2003

Long, slow, and pretentious

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 7, 2003

A bit lumpy (with so much left on the cutting room floor, that was probably inescapable), but it's the kind of glorious lumpiness that only comes from a great filmmaker.
