Premise

Claire’s search for Sam Farber takes her around the world. The technology he carries draws their journey toward an experiment involving sight, memory, and recorded dreams.

Our take

It is a strangely beautiful and boring movie.

It is perhaps one of the best movies to watch to put you to sleep, which is a compliment — Until the End of the World is a dreamy movie that transcends shackles and leaves you stupefied in banality and a weird dew of awesomeness.
