When You Finish Saving the World 2023

I have no idea what I just watched. What is it with Hollyweird lately serving up so many slurries of nothing but dysfunctional awkward and cringe, and calling them movies? I guess there's some meta in there somewhere, but geez.

I had this movie pegged through most of it and I delighted in the awkward cringe moments built steered by both Finn Wolfhard and Julianne Moore. What I didn’t expect was the heart that comes out in the end, that ends up elevating the film as a whole

Narratively a very flawed film but generally a fine directional debut from Jessie Eisenberg. The two leads give good performances.

The characters were unrelatable unfortunately. The cast made me watch the film but the execution was flat. Both characters are too wrapped up in themselves.

I found it interesting. It touches some sensible subjects, like the disruptions between a teenager and his older than the norm parents. It's hard enough to be a teenager in this day and age and I bet it's even harder when you have parents who don't understand you, because they were your age like 4 decades ago.

The movie is fine, I don't have any negative feelings about it but also there's nothing about it that makes you say this is a great movie.
Pretty much exactly the film you would expect from Jesse Eisenberg. The ending just feels like it’s missing something almost like it’s incomplete.
