It's through Troell's sense of the landscape and seasons and his attention to gender sensibilities that Everlasting Moments represents the height of filmmaking technology and emotional sophistication.

Extremely forgettable period drama. Feels like a typical Hollywood period drama, with lame narration, fart jokes, and a lack of any sort of emotional depth. All the "sad" moments just feel manipulative rather than genuine. The whole film is just extremely obvious. Nevertheless, there are some extremely gorgeous shots.

"Troell's lens doesn't consistently uncover the beauty and character we're asked to believe his heroine finds with hers." - Bill Weber

Enormously pleasant time.

Slow, gentle and ultimately unsatisfying. Nørby is good, but most of the other characters are very thin, and the narration technique is underused, leaving a very wishy-washy story.

Everlasting Moments' cinematic portrait properly evokes life being lived, its personal, social, political meditation feeling pointed and painful in such a way it emphasises the very power of film. Coaxing uniformly great performances from the cast, Troell also appreciates cinema's very essence, his conflation of the form's birth and his multiple character awakenings speaking to how profound movies can be to viewers and directors alike. It's a period piece defined by true passion.

A lot of this feels rather familiar, and the film is a bit slow, but overall it's well done. As one would expect given the subject matter, the cinematography is excellent... although Troell falls into the common period film trap of overdoing the sepia tones. Performances and music are good. Very strong characterization. Nothing truly exceptional or special about the movie, but I liked it and found it moving at times.

Wonderful storytelling...
