Reviews
|
Variety -
Make no mistake: Endless Poetry is still very much a Jodorowsky film, dotted with his trademark phantasmagorical conceits, which are like candified bursts of comic-book magic realism. Yet more than any previous Jodorowsky opus, it’s also a work of disciplined and touching emotional resonance.
|
|
The Film Stage -
The final sequences about loss, and art as a “cure” (in Jodorowsky’s own words), are heart-wrenchingly powerful.
|
|
The Hollywood Reporter -
Jodorowsky keeps circling back to the question of who he is and how poetry is inextricably linked with how he experiences the world.
|
|
Empire -
Vibrantly recreating a seminal period in Jodorowsky's personal and artistic development, this bullishly played saga has enough quirky detail, audacious incident and visual panache to sweep the storyline through its less persuasive phases.
|
|
The Guardian -
It’s a real flight of fancy.
