Twenty-five years after environmental collapse left the Earth uninhabitable, Mother, Father and Son are confined to their palatial bunker, where they struggle to maintain hope and a sense of normalcy by clinging to the rituals of daily life--until the arrival of a stranger, Girl, upends their happy routine. Son, a naïve twenty-something who has never seen the outside world, is fascinated by the newcomer, and suddenly the delicate bonds of blind optimism that have held this wealthy clan together begin to fray. As tensions rise, their seemingly idyllic existence starts to crumble, with long-repressed feelings of remorse and resentment threatening to destroy the family's delicate balance. But their reckoning with difficult truths also points to a different way forward, one based on acceptance, love, and a capacity for change.

David Fear Rolling Stone The kind of movie you want adventurous cineastes to make, even if you find yourself cringing and only occasionally clapping in awe of the effort. Dec 4, 2024 Full Review Jacob Oller AV Club It’s a long sigh, an off-key parody song performed before humanity’s curtain call. Rated: C Dec 4, 2024 Full Review Kristy Puchko Mashable The End is a gutsy film that is thrillingly unnerving, raw, and original. Sep 19, 2024 Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse The End is an audacious film, with very committed performances from the cast, but this bleak study of guilt becomes overwhelmed by pretension and wears out its welcome well before the end credits roll. Rated: 1.5 Dec 5, 2024 Full Review Steve Erickson Gay City News However, “The End” is so off-putting that it denies any emotional charge. Dec 5, 2024 Full Review Joey Magidson Awards Radar The End is a punishingly long and ultimately frustrating musical take on the apocalypse. Rated: 2/4 Dec 4, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
