Leoni's narrative feature debut is a powerful missive on a far-too-invisible mental health crisis.

A new take on found footage that ends up being a direct punch at society's incompetence for dealing with a very serious subject.

Rated: 4/5

Taken as a movie that specifically targets teens, this fake "found footage" style drama makes more sense.

Rated: 3/5

Leoni wrote and directs the film and though it covers a topic which has been done before, the way he goes about presenting it makes it feel fresh and up to date.

Rated: 3.5/5

An emotionally powerful and gripping film that is impossible to look away from while being difficult to watch. Moving performances.

Michael Leoni directs When Today Ends, a painfully real, shocking film that covers a topic that seems to go unnoticed far too often: mental health. What a relevant movie for the time we are in. Mental health is such a pressing and significant topic in this day and age. Leoni and his team presents this issue in a modern way to help keep the attention of younger audiences. However, this movie is intended for all ages and generations and should be a learning experience moving forward. It showcases so many different scenarios that your coworker, friend, neighbor, daughter, son, etc. may be going through. You will walk away with a brand new perspective! great movie.

There is so much talk surrounding issues with youth and mental health, but When Today Ends shows the audience so much more creating an impact that "talk" alone cannot. The film can be heavy and extremely hard on the heart, but the emotion yet also numbness that this team captures needs to be shown. Both parents and youth can benefit from seeing this film as it could help them to potentially better understand their friends, family, and other people around them. Even better, this film will help people grow and hopefully give them the insight to make a difference in the people around them.

Powerful film! Emotions run high as we walk through life with teens in our modern social media age. You never know when someone is hurting and when that hurt can become too much. Gripping film presenting difficult subject matter in a way that is relatable and opens the door to change. It is time for us to care for one another more deeply, especially our youth, this film is a great place to start. Watch this film!

This movie will take ahold of you in the first ten minutes and doesn't let go. It's so real and gut wrenching! You forget you're watching a scripted movie and really start to care for these lives whose souls just long to belong, somewhere, anywhere. But it definitely doesn't end that way.. You should Watch and see for yourself!
