These final minutes of the film made me emotional — tears came to my eyes — and I must admit that I didn’t care about the doubts that I had...

Endless Poetry is one of the best movies of the year. It is the most accessible film that Jodorowsky has made, yet he doesn't compromise his style or vision.

With strong images the director manages to show the sensitive relationship between father and son [Full Review in Spanish]

| Nov 8, 2020

Easily Jodorowsky's most accessible movie. Though don't worry, this is still a Jodorowsky film, so you're bound to get things like a dwarf in a Hitler costume or an angel held aloft, surrounded by a sea of red-clad devils. Accessibility is a spectrum.

| Original Score: A- | Jul 1, 2020

The mix of vulgarity and spirituality, of affectionate freakshow and savage political theater, is pure Jodorowsky, and you can feel his restless invention swirling through every scene.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 29, 2019

The sheer artistry in just one frame of Endless Poetry is enough to send you into sensory overload.

| Original Score: A | Nov 2, 2018

Alejandro Jodorowsky has created a surrealist autobiography that will certainly enrapture the fans of the filmmaker.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 31, 2018

Functions as an attempt at personal reconciliation with past experiences that can never be truly recreated... The director's latest shows the beginnings of a visionary growing fed up with structure and boundaries.

Endless Poetry is constantly engaged in the act of invoking without ever evoking anything. In that sense, its name is just wrong; there's no poetry to it at all.

Goofy, uneven, alternately outrageous and charming (when not both at once), Endless Poetry is as good an introduction to his work as any, and it couldn't have been made by anyone else.

| Apr 19, 2018

In its mix of the absurd and the beautiful, Endless Poetry puts into images the sweeping emotions of Jodorowsky's big, beating heart.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Sep 14, 2017

It's not endless, but it can often seem insufferable.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 31, 2017

Endless Poetry isn't for every taste, but those who give it a try will find a celebration of imagination from a director whose sense of invention seems unchecked either by censorial impulse or personal inhibition.

| Aug 23, 2017

By the time Alejandro confronts his father...it occurs that self-indulgence is sort of the point and that it just might be in the service of something that is actually, simply profound. Jodorowsky is dramatizing his life, just like everybody else does.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 17, 2017

Watching it is a little like getting kidnapped by a troupe of mimes and puppeteers, but at some point Stockholm Syndrome sets in and you end up liking its utter insanity.

| Aug 9, 2017

Sustaining the mood, Jodorowsky once again bathes the feature in oddity, personal expression, and grotesqueries, making this second chapter as captivating as the first.

| Original Score: B+ | Aug 2, 2017

Endless Poetry offers a ribald and revelatory road to poetic nirvana.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 2, 2017

Endless Poetry is not a movie that has any interest in hiding its metaphorical (or literal) erections.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Aug 1, 2017

Though a little Jodorowsky goes a long way, Endless Poetry is the director's most accessible film to date. The story is linear and often funny, even if you're not initially sure if it's supposed to be.

Drawing on that particular quality of light that seems unique to Chile, Jodorowsky paints an alluring portrait of his homeland.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jul 28, 2017
