Despite a beautiful score which starts off relatively indistinct but grows in scope and emotional magnitude throughout the 50 minute run time Endless is unable to remain entirely captivating throughout due to a stubborn and relatively uninventive approach to the visual element of the picture. It is set in an abandoned warehouse-come-woodshop-come-recording studio and starring numerous copies of Frank using heavy machinery. The direction & cinematography (by Frank) show an aptitude for visual art with a bold, highly contrasted B&W style that does look like it would fit in in the Tate Modern but given it's runtime the commitment to this style and visual theme does drag. Whilst musically it does not hold a torch to ChannelOrange or Blonde (which was released 5 days later and I assume a lot of the tracks were rejects from the double LP) there are some standouts particularly towards the end with the staircase sequence resembling Labyrinth's exceptional Euphoria 2018 score.
