	Media	Author	Review
		Deborah Young The Hollywood Reporter	"[It is] amply justified by two whimsical exercises in art house cinema directed by Jafar Panahi and Apichatpong Weerasethakul. The other tales are quirky but mixed in impact."
		Peter Debruge Variety	"While the world was in lockdown, this portmanteau project achieved something remarkable, giving artists ranging from Jafar Panahi to Apichatpong Weerasethakul the opportunity to unlock their imaginations."
		Steve Pond The Wrap	"Seven directors offer wildly different perspectives in this disquieting snapshot of our time (...) Like the lockdown itself, it can be a slog and it can be a kick."
		Tim Grierson Screendaily	"The Year Of The Everlasting Storm approaches the Covid-19 pandemic not so much as a physical event but, rather, as a state of being, presenting a series of poetic sequences that capture the anxiety, uncertainty and isolation."
		Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"As a whole, it’s certainly an interesting project, I just wish I felt the lightning spark of loving it more than I do"
		John Serba Decider	"It's probably wise to resist taking the wide view on a pandemic that hasn't ended yet (...) Everyone here has something vital to say or examine"
