Filmed over four years of hope and crisis, TO THE END captures the emergence of a new generation of leaders and the movement behind the most sweeping climate change legislation in U.S. history. Award-winning director Rachel Lears (Knock Down The House) follows four exceptional young women--Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, activist Varshini Prakash, climate policy writer Rhiana Gunn-Wright, and political strategist Alexandra Rojas--as they grapple with new challenges of leadership and power and work together to defend their generation's right to a future. From street protests to the halls of Congress, these bold leaders fight to shift the narrative around climate, revealing the crisis as an opportunity to build a better society. Including up-to-the-minute footage that culminates in 2022's landmark climate bill, TO THE END lifts the veil on the battle for the future of our world, and gives audiences a front seat view of history in the making.

Half a star for this is rough. Giving these nut jobs a platform is embarrassing. I am all for saving the planet this movie hurts more than it helps. Critics that enjoyed this are insane or just part of the cult.

feckless, narcissistic grandstanding. 90% of the world's pollution comes from china. you know what else comes from china? every single apple product. ask one of these entitled brats to save the planet by giving up their iPhone, and watch the look of shock, horror, then finally rage on their dipshit faces.

I would recommend that if AOC cares so much about the environment to consider flying coach, taking public transport, consider a garden and composting, stop using plastic, don't travel needlessly we have tech you can do zoom calls instead of flying to and from meetings, move out the city as city living is considerably worse for the environment, and lastly work on the emissions in NY which is the area that you represent. Once the city is less smoggy maybe then you can talk to the rest of the states about your ideas on the environment. As for the average american considering watching this film. Don't. Maiming yourself would be less painful.

Absolutely terrible. You'd be better off spending 90 minutes as an NVA POW.

Half way through we thought it was a comedy! My daughters and I started laughing at much of the content and by the middle most of the rest of the theater either left or were laughing along with us.

This isn't the best documentary available on climate change. The science isn't discussed.

Elizabeth Weitzman

TheWrap

One of the subjects of “To the End” notes that she wants to “speak things into existence.” It’s a painfully poignant wish, representative of the blend of optimism, desperation, and determination that powers the entire film.

Representative Ocasio-Cortez offers the best onscreen antidote to despair — she’s funny, a canny political strategy.

Decider

Despite its rather-too-broad approach to its subject matter, To the End is a compelling on-the-ground behind-the-scenes over-the-shoulder glimpse at the mechanisms of American progressive politics.

Hyperallergic

Despite "To the End"’s insistence on hope, its most indelible moments are those that are honest about the understandable trepidation so many of us feel about the future.

There is no doubt that this issue is fundamental to a functioning and existing society. This documentary is simply not the film to tackle it head-on.
