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.

Kristy Puchko Mashable The End is a gutsy film that is thrillingly unnerving, raw, and original. Sep 19, 2024 Full Review Bilge Ebiri New York Magazine/Vulture Despite the occasionally evocative detail, Oppenheimer clearly imagines this as a fairy tale, a simple story designed to explore a complex moral subject. Sep 16, 2024 Full Review Radheyan Simonpillai Guardian At two and a half hours, Oppenheimer’s strange and ambitious deconstruction of human behaviour can also be draining. Maybe that’s intentional. Rated: 3/5 Sep 13, 2024 Full Review Carlos F. Heredero Caimán Cuadernos de Cine Simultaneously brave and risky. Oct 29, 2024 Full Review Olivia Popp Cineuropa [...] the operetta is a perfect format to examine how humans — particularly as an intergovernmental, corporate collective — have absolved themselves of responsibility for unimaginable crises while hurtling toward a deeply unsustainable future [...] Oct 21, 2024 Full Review Jack Martin Film Feeder As an artistic expression of relevant and timely themes through the power of song, it’s bound to become something of a cult favourite among its niche crowd. Rated: 3/5 Oct 20, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
