synopsis

Confined in a bunker after the collapse of the planet, a family sees their daily life unravel when a stranger appears at their door.

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

The End

Its persuasive, unsettling intelligence will get under your fingernails and into your bones. If any recent release has the potential to become a cult classic it is this melodic warning from beneath the earth.

Irish Times

"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 (including co-writer Rasmus Heisterberg) craft.
