Story

"Seeking a Friend for the End of the World" stars Golden Globe Award winner Steve Carell and Academy Award nominee Keira Knightley and is the feature directorial debut of screenwriter Lorene Scafaria. Set in a too-near future, the movie explores what people will do when humanity's last days are at hand. As the respective journeys of Dodge (Mr. Carell) and Penny (Ms. Knightley) converge, the two spark to each other and their outlooks - if not the world's - brighten.

“..after 100 minutes of gallows humor and surprise left turns, Seeking a Friend leaves us with a disappointingly banal observation..”

by Stephen Dalton [Hollywood Reporter]

“..Carell and Knightley give it their bittersweet best. But I never rooted for them as a couple, never felt a chemistry in their bond..”

by Peter Travers [Rolling Stone]

“..it's as life-affirming as an extinction event film can be..”
