Sal's empty eyes seem to have been living only on memories since he lost Zoe, the love of his life: memories like fragments of a shattered mirror that cannot be put back together. His sister Ebe, who observes her brother with growing concern, suggests he turn to Another End, a new technology that promises to ease the pain of separation by briefly bringing back to life the consciousness of those who have died. Sal finds Zoe again in this way, but in the body of another woman. A body he does not know but in which he is mysteriously able to recognise his wife. What was broken suddenly seems to come together again. In fact, Another End grants Sal the time to share a little more life with Zoe, to love her again, to be loved by her, to say goodbye in the end. But this is a fragile, ephemeral, insidious joy and, having arrived at the end of the programme, Sal has no intention of meekly watching as his love dissolves in the definitive loss of his wife. He tries to find her in Ava, the woman who had lent her body to Zoe’s consciousness. Perhaps love really does survive and eternity is promised through physical bodies.

Crunch this down and it'd be a good 30-minute short.

A vaguely sci-fi story that's so lifeless and apathetic it's almost inert. It doesn't deserve these vibrant actors.

Rather than interrogating the very world it creates, “Another End” hews another, easier path, turning around familiar notions of star-crossed romance resonating from beyond the afterlife

“There’s plenty of heart to be found within ‘Another End,’ but the clunky handling of a climactic twist sadly feels emotionally and philosophically empty.”

["Another End" has] interminable pacing and a third act twist that feels somehow both out of nowhere and yet incredibly predictable,

If only the film’s stodgy beginning and its semi-interesting middle stretch could match the utter ridiculousness of Another End’s, well, end, then you’d at least have an entirely unpredictable kind of film.

I found it extremely curious that this movie got such low ratings, especially nowadays, when good movies are a species so scarce, almost in extinction. Yes, I obviously liked the movie. But the reason I decided to write a review has more to do with my amazement at how those so-called "intellectual" people came here to "intellectualize" something that should simply be appreciated. If you don’t like something, fine—you have the right to that opinion. But in my honest view, people tried (in vain) to sound smarter than they really are by bashing a movie that, if enjoyed as movies are meant to be enjoyed—outside of false intellectualism—could have brought them some joy and entertainment.

It’s an original film, very well acted (some reservations about the supporting characters) and with striking cinematography. Although the script has a few plot holes and narrative missteps, overall it feels like a refreshing proposal in a landscape where truly different romantic films are in short supply.

When it comes to sci fi romance that come up fer me is Master of Horror John Carpenter’s Starman with Jeff Bridges is actually one of kind. But the acting n concept was actually good, love myself some romcom films, but drama to it. In. How Gael Garcia play Sal depresing soul lost girlfriend in car accident play Renate Reinsve didn’t work for me not even in the second arc, what did is Berenice Bejo relationship with, always caring, given best, work for that memory company, really brought some clues that sold me, was more interested in Ebe than Ava. That remind me of Black Mirror episode. So conclude is the movie worth yer time, depend if ye going for experimental film, with awesome first arc, n not finish it? Like that’s all can say, the acting from the brothers work a lot, Open for any sci fi that doesn’t involve action, but more yer artsy ones From the Orange Clock, to 2001:Space Odyssey.

Synopsis

Sal's empty eyes seem to have been living only on memories since he lost Zoe, the love of his life: memories like fragments of a shattered mirror that cannot be put back together. His sister Ebe, who observes her brother with growing concern, suggests he turn to Another End, a new technology that promises to ease the pain of separation by briefly bringing back to life the consciousness of those who have died. Sal finds Zoe again in this way, but in the body of another woman. A body he does not know but in which he is mysteriously able to recognise his wife. What was broken suddenly seems to come together again. In fact, Another End grants Sal the time to share a little more life with Zoe, to love her again, to be loved by her, to say goodbye in the end. But this is a fragile, ephemeral, insidious joy and, having arrived at the end of the programme, Sal has no intention of meekly watching as his love dissolves in the definitive loss of his wife. He tries to find her in Ava, the woman who had lent her body to Zoe’s consciousness. Perhaps love really does survive and eternity is promised through physical bodies.
