When You Finish Saving the World (2022)

When You Finish Saving the World (2022). When You Finish Saving the World: Directed by Jesse Eisenberg. With Julianne Moore, Finn Wolfhard, Billy Bryk, Alisha Boe. Evelyn and her oblivious son Ziggy seek out replacements for each other as Evelyn desperately tries to parent an unassuming teenager at her shelter, while Ziggy fumbles through his pursuit of a brilliant young woman at school.

“This movie captures a unique yet discomforting snapshot of mother and son, existing separately in a world searching for meaning. Both leads were flawed, funny, and authentic. The lofi soundtrack mixed with the cinematography created an atmosphere akin to Eternal Sunshine, in that it is bitterly sweet, but honest in its portrayal of characters that are everyday people, just like us. I appreciated the way Eisenberg didnu0026#39;t shy away from the humor that comes naturally in the social disconnect of everyday interaction. Overall, you leave this movie feeling part of something, and thatu0026#39;s what matters.”
