The End

Reviews

• "A mixture of domestic drama, apocalyptic fable and old-fashioned (and unironic) Hollywood musical, The End is an audacious and frequently enrapturing experience, with superb performances at its emotional heart."
  - Screen Daily
• "There’s a thin line between kindness and complicity, and THE END achieves its sneakily immense power by dancing all over it with an ambivalence that Oppenheimer’s previous work never allowed for."
  - IndieWire
• "THE END carries that rare sense of a lack of compromise––a fully realized world from a visionary director. It’s exhilarating to simply exist in this world that Oppenheimer and his team craft."
  - The Film Stage
• "In a bizarre but effective meld of genres and styles, the razzle-dazzle of golden-age Hollywood meets the grim dystopia of Children of Men."
  - Polygon
• "THE END is a risky proposition, but it’s one of the most beautiful, profound films of the year, and you don’t get something this powerful by playing it safe."
  - Next Best Picture
• "Stripped from narrative concerns and only focusing on the character beats, this is almost certainly a film that on revisit will reward those willing to once again lock themselves underground."
  - Collider
• "THE END is a gutsy film that is thrillingly unnerving, raw, and original."
  - Mashable
• "If The End doesn't reel you in with its music, its meticulous aesthetic will."
