Critics Consensus

Writer-director Zak Hilditch's thought-provoking screenplay -- and a stellar performance from young Angourie Rice -- make These Final Hours worth watching, even if its end-of-the-world premise is overly familiar.

The last quarter of the movie is breath taking. The feeling is unexplainable.

I have a bit of a penchant for apocalyptic nihilistic movies and after a recommendation I would put this up there with Miracle Mile and The Quiet Earth as a great low budget movie. The premise is a little different and it shares elements of the odyssey. I will certainly be watching it again.

Films about the apocalypse are inherently thought-provoking, but These Final Hours has an emotional resonance that most of the others in the genre lack. Set in Australia, it is twelve hours before a firestorm envelops the country and wipes out all traces of life. In order to dull the pain, James (Nathan Phillips) abandons his pregnant girlfriend in order to attend a friend's party but, along the way, becomes the guardian of a young girl (Angourie Rice, who provides a stunning debut performance) in search of her father. The movie is filled with the expected stark images and bleak tones, but excels in developing the relationship between the two disparate primary characters. The film is bold, horrifying, touching and ultimately tragic.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
