With its intertwined themes of love and death, loneliness and togetherness – its cry for common humanity – maybe it is for everyone, after all.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Sep 23, 2024

Andersson depicts fragments of humanity, stitched together with humour and relatability, and without a hint of loftiness or condescension.

| Sep 21, 2023

Minimalist melancholy... essential Andersson... Andersson’s despair is as heartening as deepest love. Flight is taken.

| Original Score: 10/10 | Dec 23, 2022

Andersson isn't saying there is balance, he's saying there are small moments of kindness and joy to cherish.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 17, 2022

At least we have Roy Andersson making films to help us laugh and cry at life's absurdities until our energies transform into something new.

| Original Score: 7/10 | May 10, 2022

Every new film by the absurdist Swedish filmmaker Roy Andersson-one of the most underrated directors on the planet-is cause for celebration.

| Jan 4, 2022

Humanity is cruel. Life is absurd. Everything is grey and dull. What a funny, delightful film.

About Endlessness has all the unsparing bleakness of Andersson's other films, but also more moments of levity and love.

| Aug 3, 2021

An existential depressive whimsy that will make you fully swoon. It sure is a Roy Andersson movie, it is.

| Original Score: A | Jul 2, 2021

If About Endlessness frequently seems like a sketch, less thoroughly conceived, it's nonetheless agreeably brisk and sometimes breathtakingly beautiful.

A tutorial on the spiritual practice of attention.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jun 6, 2021

Andersson delivers another powerful collection of short stories that explores the complexity of human emotions with his characteristic visual style and sense of humor. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jun 4, 2021

The sublimation of the everyday reminds us of Julio Cortazar stories [Full review in Spanish]

| May 30, 2021

As always, though, Andersson offers a stirring, compelling counter-example to mainstream film - eschewing familiar, conventional character or plot-driven storytelling, mobile camerawork, or traditional editing.

| May 26, 2021

Slow-paced, ironic world in beautiful palettes of pastels, framed by an omniscient female narrator, explores personal impact of societal complicity, including of religion.

| Original Score: 8/10 | May 25, 2021

Writer/director Roy Andersson's collection of vignettes feels like power walking through a museum or speed reading a book of poetry.

| Original Score: A+ | May 21, 2021

...comprised of 31 individual, largely disconnected vignettes...it becomes a rather engrossing, unpredictable, and hypnotic movie experience.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 15, 2021

If you are in the mood for something kind of quiet and pensive that will move you in a subtle way, this is it.

| May 13, 2021

The movie is an anthology of moments: some dreary, some distressing, some carefree. The anecdotes add up to a meditation on life as experienced individually and specifically by each subject.

| Original Score: A | May 12, 2021

I loved the 78-year-old Andersson's healthy critical attitude to our foibles.
