Given a Lorentzian manifold (M,g), the geodesic connectedness problem consists on searching some geodesic connecting any two prescribed points of the manifold. In the last decades, variational methods and critical point theory have turned to be extremely useful for solving this problem in many cases. In this talk we will briefly review this topic, illustrating it with some recent results.
