A political and spiritual parable, but related with such subtle realism and incantatory rhythms that it is far more mysterious than didactic.
Peter Keough, Boston Globe

If the movie's universal themes don't impress, its specific details do.
Mark Jenkins, Washington Post
Fresh
More than four hours long, filmed in expansive takes with almost no close-ups and very few camera movements, Lav Diaz's "Norte, the End of History" is a tour de force of slow cinema.
A.O. Scott, New York Times

Norte is formidable cinema that doesn't shy away from exploring history, philosophy, politics and religion at length. But it's also a story of three individuals, through whom these topics gain sharper focus.
