Norte, The End of History Ratings & Reviews
Filmmaker Magazine
Vadim Rizov
Norte is extremely watchable, and there's the rub: it's reasonable to expect transcendence at that sustained length, but instead we get a relatively straightforward tract on political abuses...
IONCINEMA.com
Nicholas Bell
Superbly shot and featuring a host of interesting characters, it echoes a type of intelligent, painstaking cinema from a bygone era.
Way Too Indie
C.J. Prince
For those willing to give Diaz's film a chance, Norte will provide one of the year's best viewing experiences.
MUBI
David Phelps
Diaz's embrace of a mobile camera and exploitation stories suggests that "contemplative" cinema has probably never really been a reproof to Hollywood spectacle and suspense, so much as it's been an extension of spectacle by other means.
The Stranger (Seattle, WA)
Charles Mudede
It's a monumental achievement: a four-hour film you wish could be longer.
MiamiArtZine
Rubén Rosario
This is the work of a filmmaker blessed with the gift of chronicling the unbearable heaviness of being. He basks in the redemptive glow of thematic ambition.
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
Four hours of academic moralising could be a lot more opaque than this crafty, organic film presents them as being.
Laramie Movie Scope
Robert Roten
Even though this movie is over four hours long, it presents only part of the story. A lot of its length is due to long, uncut static camera shots where little or nothing is happening.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Powerful and humbling, this 2013 drama is worth every minute you're willing to give it.
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
Diaz has shaped his material with a mesmerizing rhythm, digital lenser Larry Manda's imagery often stunning.
Boston Globe
Peter Keough
A political and spiritual parable, but related with such subtle realism and incantatory rhythms that it is far more mysterious than didactic.
Washington Post
Mark Jenkins
If the movie's universal themes don't impress, its specific details do.
RogerEbert.com
Peter Sobczynski
There are moments of staggering beauty and power on display here and yet there are also moments when it seems to be ambling around with no clear idea of where it wants to go.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
More than four hours long, filmed in expansive takes with almost no close-ups and very few camera movements, Lav Diaz's "Norte, the End of History" is a tour de force of slow cinema.
NPR
Tomas Hachard
Norte is formidable cinema that doesn't shy away from exploring history, philosophy, politics and religion at length. But it's also a story of three individuals, through whom these topics gain sharper focus.
Movie Mezzanine
Matt Hughes
...this might just be [Diaz's] greatest achievement so far.
Film Comment Magazine
Jonathan Romney
Any thought of Diaz as a director who makes it all up as he goes along is comprehensively belied by a tightly structured narrative that, for all its length and languid pacing, contains very little dead time.
The Dissolve
Scott Tobias
Diaz is ultimately more interested in larger themes of morality, religion, justice, and history than in the characters, who become more representative than human.
Village Voice
Calum Marsh
For all its specificity to the Philippines, its thematic breadth is universal. Diaz is a patient, perceptive observer of life.
Slant Magazine
Calum Marsh
Lav Diaz's film doesn't just convey time, endurance, perseverance; it makes us feel them.
