Ever Since the World Ended is a faux documentary with a twist, a rudimentary yet fascinating record of remembrance and reconstruction.

Rated: 4/5

The performances in the film are so remarkable it's easy to ignore the implausibilities that surface. But even as its self-aware approximation of the doc format startles, Ever Since the World Ended lacks vigor.

Slant Magazine

A science-fiction tale shares a deep fascination with the logistical and psychological dilemmas arising from society's breakdown.

As gorgeous visually as it is powerful emotionally.

The mockumentary conceit gives a vivid immediacy to the material, and the PAL digital video cinematography is often surprisingly lyrical.

Wow! The acting is fantastic. I was mesmerized by these performances. Strong direction as well. However, I don't think they add up well in the format of feature length film.

Some of the worst actors ever in a movie and the stupidest most pointless awfulest documentary type movie I have ever seen, whose idea was it to make this total piece of garbage, its all made up what is the point, and its boring

Very "Blair witchy". Great idea but seemed aimless.

Although the acting is top notch and the idea of this type of film is intriguing, this movie is extremely ugly and hard to watch for its duration, however small.

A lot of interesting concepts and a neat idea but horribly slow and lacking any sort of action. They also do a bad job of making things seem desolate. They show an empty street and some barren landscape but I didn't really feel like I was alone. The ambience was just seriously lacking which made it hard to get into the movie or believe, relate, have any feelings for the characters. The entire movie is just dialogue and panoramic shots. Which makes sense since its supposed to be a documentary but it was still boring and not very believable. Also, kind of counter productive to the point of the movie. Considering they're trying to survive, which apparently they've transcended that once again, they decide to make a movie? I don't know. Lay down on your floor face pointed downward, with your eyes open for 90 minutes and you'll feel as accomplished as if you had watched this movie.
