		If that were all to The End of the Affair, if it were merely an excursion through the doldrums, then perhaps it would be excusable to prefer Rob Schneider’s epic farce of mistaken identity.
		The End of the Affair is based on Graham Greene’s autobiographical novel written in 1951.
		The End of the Affair could more accurately be titled “The End of the Affairs” as it delves into not only the fervent first fling during the war, but also a present-tense attempt to pick up the pieces.

	END OF THE AFFAIR; Ralph Fiennes, Julianne Moore, Stephen Rea
		Through the elements of a love story, a mystery, and a comedy of sorts, End of the Affair ever so slowly and painfully reveals the difficulty of the lovers, as the forces at work are a jumble of misconceptions, misunderstandings, and miscalculations.
		The heart of End of the Affair ponders on the human difficulty to reconcile the notions of the Divine with the passions that make it impossible to know what is really happening.
		In the end, the sacrifices we make, and the pain we suffer to be faithful to our promises might give birth to reconciliation and beauty, and even unexplainable blessings that transcend our death.

	END OF THE AFFAIR, THE/ **
		"The End of the Affair", one of Greene's least well-known but most intensely personal novels, inspired by his own real-life dalliance with an American lady named Catherine Walston, is about how a pact with God brings misery to two of its characters by supplying them with a reason to end their adulterous love affair.
		The desires of their flesh are strong, but the partner who made the pact is too afraid to break it, and the other one becomes too frustrated to continue being loveable.
		Affairs always deceive someone who won't stand to be deceived, and hence are doomed.

	The End of the Affair (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The End of the Affair is fascinating, though, in the way it combines romantic and spiritual themes, and the way it evolves from a story of love lost to one of faith gained.
		Like much of what happens in The End of the Affair, those visits are more complicated than they at first seem, just as Bendrix’s first words — "This is a journal of hate" — change meaning as we come to understand more and more.
		The End of the Affair is a slow, unpretty film (and in all likelihood, a disastrously inappropriate holiday release), but its muted grays shot through with bursts of color convey a thought-provoking story of loss and redemption.

	SPLICEDwire \| "The End of the Affair" review (1999)
		Even if "The End of the Affair" didn't invite comparisons to "The English Patient" with Ralph Fiennes' auto-pilot performance as another reflective World War II-era Englishman immersed heart and soul in an adulterous love affair, this Neil Jordan adaptation of Graham Greene's novel would still be an ambitious misfire.
		But it's unnecessarily obvious from early on that she is afflicted with one of those only-in-the-movies terminal illnesses, the only symptoms of which are a slight cough and increasing radiance until the script calls for her to become suddenly bedridden and pasty.
		The best thing about "End of the Affair" is the gradual way in which the most enticing facts of the story are revealed -- like why Sarah abruptly left Bendrix only moments after he's nearly killed in one of the bombing raids.

	The Michigan Daily Online
		That secret is revealed in due time, and suddenly "The End of the Affair" becomes a strangely religious story rather than just one of jilted lovers.
		The invention of the movie is not a typical love triangle - Henry is such a non-entity ("He hasn't noticed me for years," Sarah says simply when Bendrix expresses worry about him early on in their relationship) that he is not part of the equation.
		"The End of the Affair" is a diary of hate, yes, but it's also a diary of love, terrible and grand, gorgeous and frightful.

	The End of the Affair (1955)
		IMDb > The End of the Affair (1955)
		Van Johnson is not as expressive or deep an actor as the excellent Deborah Kerr and Peter Cushing (and John Mills, Michael Goodliffe and Nora Swinburne) yet his character's relaxed masculinity, reluctant anguish and saturnine, rather malicious jealousy are well-conveyed, and he manages to be a presence you remain interested in.
		This 1955 version of THE END OF THE AFFAIR deserves to be much better known and remembered, and all concerned deserve belated kudos for attempting such a provocative film in the midst of Hollywood's synthetic movies of the period.

	DVD Verdict Review - The End Of The Affair (1999)
		The End Of The Affair is presented in its aspect ratio of 1.85:1 with an anamorphic transfer that is very close to perfect.
		Tragic love affairs have been a staple of film since its creation but with tragic love one expects to believe the characters feel the same things, that they truly need the other.
		As a home video release, The End Of The Affair is one of those discs that has more going for it because of the extras included than for the film itself.

		Julianne Moore and Ralph Fiennes in "The End of the Affair."
		Maurice, meanwhile, recounts his affair in detailed flashbacks leading up to a key moment: After an afternoon of heated lovemaking, he barely escapes a blitz bomb.
		The End of the Affair artfully blends dark romance, potent eroticism and surprising spirituality to make it a truly adult film -- in the commendable sense of maturity, intelligence and sensitivity.

	DVD Review: The End Of The Affair('99)
		As simple a statement as it sounds, the ads for "The End Of The Affair" sort of made it seem like an "English Patient" sequel("English Patient: With A Vengence?"), but "End" turns out to be a different picture with a different tone, but still, not one that I enjoyed very much.
		The film spends all of 101 minutes looking at the affair from both points of view, but without much interest in these characters, 101 minutes is even too long for this story.
		SOUND: Except for a couple of scenes, "The End Of The Affair" is mainly dialogue-driven, which is to be expected from a dramatic tale like this one.

	Notherby's :: The End of the Affair
		It's based on an acclaimed semi-autobiographical novel by Graham Greene told in two parts, the diary of the novelist, baffled by her ending their affair, and the diary of the wife, explaining why she did it.
		Both accounts are told side by side, moving back and forth between wartime London and the postwar 1950s as the end of the affair and reason for it are revealed.
		Maurice's mind reels back to his passionate affair with Sarah during the war years, which she abruptly broke off two years ago, and gripped with a jealousy that hasn't abated he hires a private detective (a mousy, marvelous Ian Hart) to shadow her movements.

	Cranky Critic® Movie Reviews: The End of the Affair
		That God works in mysterious ways and that humans are emotionally fragile, and sometimes petty, creatures is at the heart of The End of the Affair, in which a passionate adultery yields unusual results.
		But, gee, the English are so darned understated that watching The End of the Affair is like looking at a piece of translucent glass.
		The End of the Affair would work just as well in a darkened room with a non-stop teevee cablecast.

	The End of the Affair
		The End of the Affair is a sad and steamy film, about passion licit and illicit.
		But The End of the Affair is also full of eccentrically lyrical moments and gestures that are part of The Crying Game director Neil Jordan’s approach to filmmaking.
		The End of the Affair also contains one or two interesting echoes of one of Greene’s most famous works, his screenplay for The Third Man. Both are mysteries concerning a mysterious Other.

	CNN - Review: 'The End of the Affair' -- get out your handkerchiefs - December 13, 1999
		Based on a 1951 novel by Graham Greene, "The End of the Affair" is set in England during World War II, which means that the heated smooching is laced with air-raid sirens and buzz-bomb attacks.
		It's never occurred to him that during the war she was having a passionate affair with the man to whom he's now opening up.
		The soap-opera aspects of the story are sometimes held in check, but Jordan is more likely to let the suds fall where they may. The melodrama is turned up to a fever pitch near the end, when the affair is re-examined through the pages of Sarah's secret diary.

		To many critics, The End of the Affair is the most obviously Catholic of Greene's novels, due in large part to the apparent sainthood of the heroine, whose death is followed by a series of miracles.

	The End of the Affair
		The object of hate, we come to learn, is God, an interloper in an affair he's had with Sarah Miles (beautifully underplayed by Julianne Moore), a bored wife trapped in a loveless marriage with a friend of his, Henry (Stephen Rea).
		Henry confides in Bendrix that Sarah may be having an affair, but would like to find out for sure by having her tailed by a private investigator.
		The exchanges between the two men from opposite social strata transcends the master/servant relationship that was breaking down even as the war was ending, and it is only through his exchanges with Parkis that Bendrix eventually dredges himself from the all-consuming mire of anger that he has self-inflicted.

		Indeed, the affair goes on unchecked for several years until, during an afternoon tryst, Bendrix goes downstairs to look for intruders in his basement and a bomb falls on the building.
		The End of the Affair is a great book that still manages to convey that all-important sense of loss, guilt and sadness with a vitriol that seems fierce enough to tear through a brick wall, whilst screaming in the face of pious notions of reminisce and forgiveness (in a typically 50's 'very-English' sort-of-way, of course).
		The End of the Affair was my first encounter with Greene and well and truly won me over to his dark, distinctly British novels.

	"The End of the Affair" / a review from Christian Spotlight on the Movies
		The film is told mostly from Bendrix's point of view as he remembers the events that led up to the affair and the affair's climax which took place during the blitzkrieg of London in 1940.
		The romance peaks and ends due to the random destructive reality of a bomb or to the focused cleansing spirit of a supreme being.
		In The End of the Affair Neil Jordan presents conflicts and questions which he allows the viewers to resolve and answer.
