"achieves an intensity through images and editing that stays with us for a long time." - DOK Leipzig

"With rare acuity, Considering the Ends draws a portrait of a woman who has chosen to face her contradictions in the middle of life. Her progression sends us back to our own." - Visions du Reel

"Elsa Maury offers up an insightful and rewarding view of the shepherding life far removed from the bucolic idyll and which, in its way, is just as affecting as Michelangelo Frammartino’s award-winning Le Quattro Volte" - ScreenDaily
