Critics Consensus

Smartly driven by its magnetic young ensemble and mounting sense of dread, It Ends twists a perpetual road trip into an existential nightmare.

Audience Says

An interesting premise does not a movie make, and the best part about It Ends is that it does.

3/5

While the eternal nature of the road in It Ends seems to be a curse, the open-ended nature of its discussion of purpose may turn out to be its biggest blessing.

3.5/4

"It Ends," the phenomenal feature debut from writer-director Alexander Ullom, is an incision into a raw nerve.

For a movie about people going nowhere, It Ends has quite a bit to say about moving on.

"Most filmmakers go their entire careers without ever making a feature this nuanced and self-assured, so seeing Ullom do it on his first try is absolutely remarkable."

While the road—what it is or what it’s meant to symbolize—is the talking point of "It Ends," it’s the characters that make the movie work.

Sometimes, a road to nowhere is just a road to nowhere.

If you have been longing for a movie that puts four people in a car and has them drive around for 75 minutes for absolutely no reason, this movie is for you! This movie is not really scary or funny, and it looks to make no particular point at all. I'm not at all sure how this movie got made. There is no deep, profound meaning to this movie. Four people driving around in a car and talking to each other for 75 minutes...That's the movie...Don't waste your time!

Movie is very slow paced. I'm just grateful that while looking for reviews I noticed the movie came out last year in 2025 and didnt waste my money going to the theatres to see it. Just watched it for fee in HD at home ftw.
