 Badische
Neueste Nachrichten:
„A concise and impressive cinematic account of the
burdensome effect of the disease on sick person and relatives alike, of a
disease with little-known causes and unknown cure.“
Ärzte-Zeitung:
„A certainly disturbing yet fascinating movie.“
Frankfurter Rundschau:
„‚Endless Farewell' - a TV film by Werner Zeidler (script)
and Mathias Allary (director) - hauntingly relates a story of the
unstoppable destruction of a personality. How husband and daughter cope
with their fate, tell of their love and their shame, of care, helplessness
and strain, fear and desperation. The filmmakers unfold the story without
lapsing into socially educative pathos or falling foul of the twin-evils
of accusation and lamentation.“

 Süddeutsche
Zeitung:
„Mathias Allary's directing work and Hans-Jörg
Allgeiers camera communicate the slow progression of the disease in
painstaking yet always trivial scenes. A certain austerity in the
performance of actors Helmut Grien, Hilde Ziegler and Susanna Simon makes
it impossible for the audience to dismiss the exceptional circumstances as
mere exoticism. [...] A moving piece of work, both artistically and
morally responsible.“
