I read some unflattering reviews on here before I watched this movie, and so my expectations were low going in. However, I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised and I feel those who trashed it were a bit harsh. The movie has a great pace to it. It's a collection of short scenes that don't linger too long. If you don't care for one scene, don't worry, another one is coming right up. I particularly liked the scenes with Sharon Van Etten, Olivia Wilde, Lamorne Morris, and Helen Hunt. There were some funny jokes along the way, as well as some light emotional stuff. All in all in was an enjoyable movie. I thought the younger-self construct was very interesting, and the chemistry between Zoe Lister-Jones and Cailee Spaeny was excellent. Also, since I live in Los Angeles, I really enjoyed seeing the street signs and keeping track of where each scene was filmed. From a reality standpoint, though, there is no way they could have gotten to all those places on foot in one day. Ha ha! The other good thing about this movie is that it's a great document of how empty the streets were during the pandemic. In my imagination, on the last day of human life on earth the streets of Los Angeles would be filled with people going nuts. But the fact that the streets were so empty in the movie added sort of a calm eeriness, and a sense of acceptance of the impending doom. It's nice to think that could actually be ... how it ends.

Pleasantly surprised.
Excellent! Delightfully off beat
Is this a 'realistic' film about the end of the world. Absolutely NOT.
What a fun film about the a disastrous topic - and a walk about around LA without many people or cars!
It's the end of the world coming up and we meet people and how they are going to handle it. The vehicle is a woman who has an avatar (of sorts) of her younger self who keeps her in line.
Is it fun? No. Is it interesting? Absolutely. It's funny at times, because we, as humans, find humor in every moment.
If you can suspend your normal thinking and "go with the flow', you'll enjoy this walk around LA.
If you can't - don't watch it (and complain about it later).
The CIA wrote all of Bob Dylans songs.
This film is a beautiful story of a human who wants to reconcile with herself and life on the last day on earth.
Hilarious odyssey full of crazy characters played by some of the funniest actors
A philosophical comedy.
