'Another End' Explores Grief in Sci-Fi Premise

Critics note the film's ambitious narrative but criticize its lack of emotional depth and engagement.

'Another End,' directed by Piero Messina, explores the theme of grief through a high-concept sci-fi premise, featuring Gael García Bernal and Renate Reinsve.
The film, set in a world where deceased individuals' memories can be transferred to living hosts, delves into the complexities of love, loss, and the ethics of memory manipulation.
Critics highlight the film's ambitious narrative and polished production, but note its lack of emotional depth and failure to fully explore its philosophical themes.
Despite strong performances by the cast, 'Another End' is criticized for its pacing and a plot that struggles to engage the audience.
The movie premiered at the 2024 Berlin International Film Festival and is currently seeking U.S. distribution.
