Endless is a new romantic drama directed by Scott Speer, the director of I Still See You and Midnight Sun.
The film is about the couple Riley (Alexandra Shipp) and Chris (Nicholas Hamilton). Both have just graduated from high school. Riley can continue studying at university, but Chris thinks she should opt for a more creative education. When the two end up in a tragic car accident, Chris is killed. Riley blames himself for his death and ends up in depression. However, Chris is stuck in a world between life and death and thus manages to make contact with Riley. At first, Riley thinks she's going crazy, but when Chris manages to prove that he was able to connect with her as a ghost, the two begin to believe that the bond of true lovers transcends life and death.
This movie can be fun for young teens, but for an older audience it can quickly become predictable. In terms of story, this film is very similar to the 1990 film Ghost. Scott Speer also played with the concept of an afterlife scenario in his film I Still See You, but chose to make more of a horror film. With this film he really seems to play more into the drama aspect of an afterlife scenario, but now with a familiar and somewhat standard story. The script of this film is therefore written by beginning script writers.
Thanks to the default script, the cast doesn't have much to work with either. Alexandra Shipp and Nicholas Hamilton come across well as a teenage couple. When death separates their characters, their mutual bond weakens in the film. Catherine Lough Haggquist and Famke Janssen do good acting as the mothers of the two teens, but both have done better acting in their other films.
