Reviews
“Few filmmakers make the end of days seem as hauntingly beautiful as Werner Herzog does” New York Times
"Seemingly off-hand, cumulatively imposing, utterly masterful. *****" Time Out
"As a nature doc alone, Encounters at The End of the World would stand as one of the year's best [but this] Oscar nominated documentary about life on Antarctica [is] a testament to the questioning individuality, boundless curiosity and sheer bloody-minded oddness of Man. *****" The Times
“An event you watch in awe as you marvel at its wonders” Rolling Stone
“Follows his instincts and lets his curiosity lead him to the next sequence” Cinematical
"A compelling film that is by turns thought-provoking and very funny. ****" Financial Times (UK)
