Reviews
An amazing return to directorial form, ‘Never Look Away’ is a novelistic, epic film that appears to constantly shapeshift in front of our eyes. Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck has created the rare kind of work where politics, history, art and love collide into an almost operatic crescendo. Like the title suggests, it’s riveting viewing. - Jake Watt Read Jake's full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-never-look-away-an-artistic-and-spiritual-epic Head to https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/sff for more Sydney Film Festival reviews.
