■ “Mesmerizing images […] Magnificent work” (Kathleen McInnis, Aspen Shortsfest Film’s Director of Programming)
■ “A study of the everyday and the secret deliverance that lies waiting, while no one is looking. A celebration of interbeing and the flux of the same afternoon coursing through each of our bodies.” (Dok.Revue, Mike Hoolboom)
■ “For the idea, the inexorable elegance and mathematical beauty with which the film constructs a lyrical study of the optical unconscious.” (Best Editing Award at San Giò Verona Video Festival 2018)
■ “I love this film very, very much! […] Great genius in capturing the truth of the world in only two shots. […] Masterpiece.” (Yoichiro Takahashi, director)
■ “End of Time takes a single, insignificant situation out of everyday life and shows it as a sacred moment by slowing down the rhythm for sharper vision. The film’s crisp minimalism and commanding simplicity is truly moving.” (Award for Eperimental non narratives at Berlin Experimental Film Festival 2017)
■ “An impressive minimalist phenomenology of time, consciousness and selfhood.” (Dejan Zdravkov, Philosophical Film Festival)
