‘Another End’ Review: A Faulty Futuristic Fable – Berlin Film Festival


What would you do if you could extend loved ones' lives through their memories is the question at the center of Another End.

Another End, the latest film directed by Piero Messina and his writing team including Giacomo Bendotti, Valentina Gaddi and Sebastiano Melloni, boasts a cast led by Gael García Bernal, Renate Reinsve and Bérénice Bejo. Also, Bernal and Reinsve’s performances are the glue that holds this story together by authentically expressing the profound grief and desperation of their characters, but the script does not allow either of them enough space to fully develop their internal turmoil or moral conflict. Another End’ s potential could resonate deeply in an era where the digital and the biological converge, challenging our perceptions of identity and the sanctity of human memory, but its attempt to navigate the intricate dance between life, loss, and love in a technologically advanced future, stumbles, due to its own narrative indecision.
