packed with cameos from seemingly every celebrity the writer/directors have befriended during their careers, it's more breezy than bittersweet, more about acceptance and forgiveness than a movie made in 2020 has any right to be

a sweetly personal yet wearisome apocalyptic indie grappling with the world's end; Shot entirely during the pandemic, filmmaker duo Zoe Lister-Jones and Daryl Wein portray the nihilism of our strange times in a comedy that can use more laughs and depth
a sweet and strangely hopeful vision of the apocalypse; it's fresh and funny; Zoe Lister-Jones has the precise bearing and tone to ground something this wacky and outsized, and she approaches the part with her usual blithe charm
