[The] motif is underdeveloped and unconvincing, despite the fact that the film spends a good chunk of its running time dealing with it.

...not entirely successful, but doesn't feel out of place either.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Feb 6, 2020

A solid, if flawed, horror drama with a heavy emphasis on the dramatic and art house portion.

| Aug 9, 2019

In addition to creating an immersive, supernatural world where it feels like anything can be lurking behind the next tree, Endzeit is also one of the best Hansel-and-Gretel riffs since Matthew Bright's Freeway II: Confessions of a Trickbaby.

The alternating light and darkness here, and throughout "Ever After," is a wonderful leitmotif for the women's labyrinthian path, the journey of heroes.

| Jun 26, 2019

Between the performances and a director who embeds the film with an entrancing blending of genre and atmosphere, Ever After is a gorgeously made, impeccably acted, drama

| Jun 25, 2019

This German zombie flick offers horror with a spin of feminine steel, not soft but brutally maternal, as necessary as natural selection and as nurturing as civilizational, even planetary tough love.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 21, 2019

A post-apocalyptic film, although fictional alludes to the reality we face today as nature begins to wreak its revenge on an out-of-control civilization.

| Jun 21, 2019

Hellsgård coaxes committed performances out of her two main leads, and Dyrholm... is wonderfully creepy and stoic. But so much else is a let-down.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 21, 2019

"Endzeit" modestly deepens into beguiling mystery.

| Jun 20, 2019

An extraordinary, poetic and refreshingly unpredictable journey unlike anything you've seen before.

| Original Score: 8.8675/10 | Jun 20, 2019

Endzeit has definitely become one of my favorite films of the year, and one of my favorites of the genre. It is a refreshing take on not only these horrific creatures but also the meaning behind them and the apocalypse they bring.

The development of its characters is slow, but forceful and precise, and Kohlhof and Lehrer shine with surprisingly realistic representations in a film full of fantastic moments in a somber situation. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 5, 2019

Lush landscapes of the gorgeous German countryside are captured by cinematographer Leah Striker in an ethereal fashion that defies the grunge of a typical zombie film.

| May 16, 2019

A girls' own adventure tale for the darkly inclined, Endzeit - Ever After had its world premiere at the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival and is the German feminist zombie film we didn't even know we needed until it came along.

| Sep 18, 2018

While not a bad film, with such striking visuals, and with true originality in how the film approaches its genre, it is deeply disappointing that Endzeit was not just slightly better.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 10, 2018

Endzeit - Ever After's philosophical underpinnings go much deeper than the expected "humanity is the real monster" banality that these films too often mistake for a unique or profound thought.

| Original Score: 7.5/10 | Sep 9, 2018

Stunning set design tells poignant stories as the women visit homes where none of the living remain.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 9, 2018

As though anxious to bore its viewers, the film's calmer moments are repeatedly interrupted by unimpressive and random zombie attacks.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 9, 2018

A fresh, beautifully filmed take on the zombie genre from director Hellsgård, adapted from the comic by Olivia Vieweg (who also wrote the script), with women in every key role, both in front of and behind the camera.
