The Sense of an Ending features a beautifully nuanced performance by Jim Broadbent...

| Dec 15, 2022

The problem with 'Sense of An Ending' might not be the main character's tone-deaf approach to his female relationships but the filmmaker's.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | May 25, 2021

Whether through the fault of the writing or the editing, The Sense of an Ending is an absolute mess.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Sep 24, 2020

However, the initial intrigue is replaced all too soon with almost frustration as the plot takes too long to develop... and each development is uncovered at an achingly languid speed.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 13, 2019

Outfitted with a stellar supporting cast, this old-fashioned but compelling melodrama is a well-heeled character driven ensemble.

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

A mature work with an important sentimental layer that makes us reflect on youth and maturity. [Full Review in Spanish]

While the lack of answers may frustrate some, the assured direction of Batra and an affecting performance from Broadbent make this a film to remember.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 5, 2019

I loved the restrained grammar of this film.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 5, 2019

Despite a great deal of faithfulness to its source material...the whole film comes across as rather clinical and unaffecting; all of this is strange considering the emotions at play.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Dec 22, 2018

Director Ritesh Batra...has created another sensitive yet unflinching story of emotional connections not quite being made and the quiet devastation that causes. It's compelling.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 17, 2018

It's a film filled with slow-burning intrigue, and offers a nice mystery plot to the usual 'slice of life' drama.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 29, 2018

Ultimately, this film presents a high level of drama in a distinctly low-key way, and the result is refreshing but still very affecting.

| Aug 23, 2018

It's an unreliable protagonist and Jim Broadbent excels in this role as someone looking back. It is the younger actors that draw you in.

Works better as a book.

| Original Score: B | Jun 28, 2018

For all of its airs of shifting intrigue, the movie truly comes alive when Broadbent and company allow a little warmth and wit into the mix.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | May 11, 2018

A small-scale but beautifully formed piece.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 23, 2018

The book's mysteries and bleak epiphanies prove too subtle for the film to adapt with any deep impact.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Dec 27, 2017

... that "sense of an ending" the movie tries to create never materializes.

| Dec 22, 2017

Sense is a certain sort of familiar British drama... this is a prime example of such works, well produced and finely acted.

A literary adaptation of the literature that is our life. [Full review in Spanish]
