- nini likedWhen You Finish Saving the World
i didnt like how it ended on a cliffhanger at all bc i think they could've gone way more in depth & flesh out the characters + their relationships more but i rlly liked finn in this movie and i'm still processing my thoughts on ziggy #mylittlenarcissist
christine is "meh" onWhen You Finish Saving the Worldit is a rlly beautiful movie and i think it had a lot of potential, i was just disappointed walking out 🙁 i think the way that they portrayed the relationship between evelyn and kyle was kind of weird, which threw me off it was still a good movie, just wish there was more closure

- kendra jo is "meh" onWhen You Finish Saving the World
damn this was disappointing. acting was amazing & the relationships the characters have w each other are interesting but my compliments end there. it was slightly annoying & boring. evelyn’s relationship w kyle was unsettling. ending was not satisfying.

Eisenberg’s main concern is the screenplay, yet the canvas it’s drawing upon is so small that it boxes its imagination. The conflicts it creates for Evelyn and Ziggy are so simple and easily resolved that the film becomes a throwaway that’s quickly forgotten despite some of the cast’s good work.

Eisenberg has already proven himself a smart wordsmith and a knowing performer of emotional unease, but this “World” is a disappointingly shallow tale of narcissism and negligence.

When You Finish Saving the World is often acidic to a point that might scare away some, but at its core, Eisenberg’s film is an endearing story of mother and son who were once so close, and now struggle to get what they need from each other anymore.
