In Camille Griffin’s feature directorial debut, a group of old friends — and their families — spend their last night on Earth together.
What would you do at the end of the world? It’s a question that’s been the subject of so many books and films it borders on cliché. Yet, the diversity of answers it reveals and what they say about humanity never fails to intrigue., director Camille Griffin applies the question to a group of British friends with varying degrees of privilege.
They are members of the upper class and their ideas about their wealth, safety and general empathy for the rest of humanity come under scrutiny. This shaky apocalyptic film doesn’t land at times, but its gripping final act, a handful of standout performances and attempts at commentary about class and climate change will probably keep most audiences engaged.
