Considering the Ends

About This Movie

Considering the Ends is a deep dive into the moral complexities of farming, particularly the relationship between a shepherd and her ewes. Elsa Maury captures this intimate bond with a raw and unfiltered lens. The pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative, allowing the viewer to absorb the weight of each decision made. There’s a stark contrast between the pastoral beauty of the landscape and the harsh realities of slaughter. The way Maury presents the shepherd's struggle – both emotionally and ethically – is striking. The film's atmosphere is heavy yet reflective, pushing us to confront our own views on food and animal welfare, all while maintaining a unique documentarian style that doesn’t shy away from tough truths.
