Movie Reviews

Guardian - 10/10 by Henry BarnesThere's a disjointed beauty in this visualisation of a man struggling to recollect the facts of his life; a lot of power in the fight to rebuild the link between brain and location.
2UE That Movie Show - 9/10 by Blake HowardHall and Lovelace's spectacular documentary gives the audience the slightest insight into how frightening a stroke can be and conversely how powerfully sense memory can rescue parts of who you are from the recesses of your mind.
Time Out - 8/10 by Tom HuddlestonA captivating look at a man battling to rediscover his place in the world.
The List - 8/10 by Paul GallagherThe film really is a love story, and an inspiring, hopeful one at that.
Total Film - 8/10 by Kevin HarleyAn honest, artful and empathetic account of resilience emerges, without resort to power-of-love clichés.
Empire Magazine - 8/10 by Ian FreerAn emotional journey following an artist and man of substance.
Radio Times - 8/10 by Jamie HealyThis sensitive portrait builds towards an uplifting conclusion, where, despite his tremendous setback, Collins is seen moving ever forward - albeit less sure-footed than before - and with definite purpose.
The Playlist - 7/10 by Oliver LytteltonStunningly photographed by Richard Stewart, and gorgeously scored by Collins and a handful of collaborators, "The Possibilities are Endless" is one of the most distinctive, formally experimental and moving documentaries we've seen in a long time.
Scotsman - 6/10 by Siobhan SynnotCollins' interplay with Maxwell often speaks volumes; at one point they take a stroll together, teasing, bickering and laughing companionably, while the camera records Collins' physical difficulties and Maxwell's controlled watchfulness.
Observer (UK) - 4/10 by Mark KermodeI honestly can't remember when I last saw a happier screen couple.
