A political and spiritual parable, but related with such subtle realism and incantatory rhythms that it is far more mysterious than didactic. Aug 28, 2014 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

This is a classical tragedy of the modern Philippines and of global capitalism, a story of violence, hate, fear and love spread out on a colossal panorama which extends its reach into the realms of the spiritual and the supernatural. Jul 17, 2014 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review…

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. Jun 20, 2014 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Norte, the End of History offers no easy answers nor happy endings. Instead, we're deftly (and sensually) immersed in the lives of these desperate souls, where contentment -- let alone justice -- is a luxury few can afford. Apr 2, 2019 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review…

Most directors would let the medium be subservient to the rich storyline but not Diaz who elevates and elucidates the themes of the narrative through full mastery of his craft Dec 2, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

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. Oct 26, 2018 | Full Review…

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. Aug 21, 2018 | Full Review…

An endangered species, Diaz makes a point to treat cinema as a complex, multifaceted art form in which sensual, intellectual, and sacred experiences are inextricably linked. Nov 10, 2017 | Full Review…

Diaz uses mostly long shots to make a clinical study of guilt and the nature of evil, but after a solid build-up in the first hour the film is slowed down by long passages where nothing much happens and its poetic attempt at an end is frustrating in its refusal to bring the story to an actual conclusion.
