	Media	Author	Review
		Boyd van Hoeij The Hollywood Reporter	"A feast for the senses (...) Jodorowsky keeps circling back to the question of who he is and how poetry is inextricably linked with how he experiences the world"
		Owen Gleiberman Variety	"Alejandro Jodorowsky's 'Endless Poetry' is the most accessible movie he has ever made, and it may also be the best. It's Felliniesque and moving"
		Allan Hunter Screendaily	"'Endless Poetry' will not win new recruits to the cult of Jodorowsky but it will attract those who have kept the faith and anyone who took pleasure in 'The Dance Of Reality'"
		Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Bursting with gusto and energy, the second part of the director’s autobiographical trilogy is as bewildering as a laudanum dream (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		David Parkinson Empire	"This bullishly played saga has enough quirky detail, audacious incident and visual panache to sweep the storyline through its less persuasive phases (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Robbie Collin Telegraph	"A brilliantly nonsensical journey (...) [Adan Jodorowsky] makes an appealing anchor point (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Trevor Johnston Time Out	"A moving testimony on the relationship between an oppressive father and the creative temperament (...) The old man really has poured his heart into this (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Tara Brady Irish Times	"The surreal deal from the master Jodorowsky (...) With his trademark bursts of comic-book magic realism (...) [it] is a triumph (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
