The trailer made the film look much better than it is.

It tried to be deep, philosophical, existential, and largely failed.

It also felt so un-relatable, looking at this privileged white LA girl life. A good story is one where you root for the characters, where something resonates with you, where the themes are universal. Where you have the story on the surface, but you're also telling a deeper story through the story. Like how Jaws is about sharks but really is about 3 very different dudes learning to work together.

Here, there's non of that. Characters are flat. Feels fake. At least it was short.

The only good thing in this movie was Cailee Spaeny.

Fine premise although undercooked and dragged down by the unnecessary cameo stars with almost identical YOLO 'all-american' agenda of their characters. One can get it from first maybe second iteration, but when story repeats itself again and again the senses are wear out.

Also the proverbial hero journey is little bit on the nose in this story. Which is not bad, but with great pandemic limitations this concept could be little bit more sophisticated. Now this film looks like kinda good pilot to easy-watch tv, maybe youtube show or miniseries, and sadly it doesn't provide such satisfaction.

Both leads are great though, and movie is definitely worth to check out.

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.
