Johnathan B Worth a watch. Beautiful celluloid! Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/24 Full Review Ghederick Eshmont Profoundly English & an extremely meditative study of the primal essence of protecting one’s child. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/09/23 Full Review Mitch C I watched the credits roll on this thinking, "it was okay, nothing special". Then I had a think and realised I got absolutely nothing from it. Just a catalogue of happenings, with weird decision making that seems to exist simply to make the story happen. Jodie Comer is a good actress but she's given very little here to really dig deep. The story seems very vague, not researched enough and for want of a better word - pointless. There's also not a huge amount that's particularly likeable about anybody - downing vodka whilst breastfeeding seemed a little foolish and where I was pleased the two mothers bonded, it didn't really go anywhere - much like the movie in general. My gripe with a lot of Netflix releases recently is they're trying too hard to be overly artistic and profound. Seeing a disaster through different eyes is a good place to begin an idea, as is focusing on a slow burning human struggle as opposed to big effects and chaos. I like character development, I enjoy slow burn and I want meaning. There is little developed in the way of character, and it eventually ends up slowly burning out to a rather mundane conclusion that mirrors the title (again, arty but so what?)

I hesitatedly started watching this this not expecting much well picture me surprised. No fancy camera work no awful cgi just a good story that was thoroughly engaging. My final opinion for what it's worth, just like a dollop of cream can improve any cake Benedict Cumberbatch can improve any show or film. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/03/25 Full Review Alexander P The End We Start From presents the purest form of dystopia. It's not an Orwell or Atwood riff, rather it's "imagine if the current state of Britain was even worse." Overflow camps, social disorder as people kill for supplies, things like that.
 The film’s world just feels so real. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/23/25 Full Review Read all reviews
