Reviews for The End of Violence
A muddled, sentimental Euro-American hash, redeemed here and there from its fatal purposelessness by a few moments that remind us we're in the presence of a genuine cinematic visionary.
Offers viewers opportunities to ponder a variety of diverse subjects, but its overall entertainment value is less than one might hope for.
This goes on for two hours and two minutes. When I staggered out of the theater, I asked if Clinton was still president.
With The End of Violence Mr. Wenders has made a film as resonant as his most memorable work.
