United States | Chicago Reader | "Herzog is a stranger in a strange land (...) his perverse curiosity and zest for the harshest extremes of nature transform what might have been a standard TV special into an idiosyncratic expression of wonder." | POS |
United States | The New York Times | "Like many of Mr. Herzog's movies, fiction and nonfiction, 'Encounters at the End of the World' itself has the quality of a dream: it's at once vivid and vague, easy to grasp and somehow beyond reach." | POS |
Canada | The Globe and Mail | "All this is as fascinating as it is humbling, even when Herzog ventures a little too far down eccentricity's back alley." | POS |
United States | Boston Globe | "Does Antarctica attract dreamers or create them? It's a thread that runs throughout the film." | POS |
United States | Chicago Tribune | "Takes you places an ordinary documentary filmmaker might’ve gone to yet missed completely." | POS |
United States | Los Angeles Times | "The images captured by Herzog and cinematographer Peter Zeitlinger are dazzling all on their own, finding the disorienting psychedelia that is nature at its weirdest." | POS |
United States | SFGATE | "An enjoyable example of this extraordinary director's documentary work." | POS |
