New Showbiz Analysis

Endless Corridor serves as a correction to historical omissions by documenting the Khojaly massacre. It brings attention to a underrepresented perspective that has been largely ignored in global media. The film's strength lies in its focus on the Azerbaijani experience, moving away from a victor's history to highlight the lived experiences of those affected by the Nagorno-Karabakh War. However, the documentary does not engage with individual identity politics. It lacks a focus on LGBTQ+ representation or the deconstruction of gender hierarchies, maintaining a communal and historical scope.
