When You Finish Saving the World - Reviews

... a sweet-natured and well acted movie about Ziggy (Finn Wolfhard), an insufferable and naive teenage boy in high school...

...a shaggy discomfort dramedy centered on the semi-estrangement between a suburban Indiana social worker named Evelyn (Julianne Moore) and her teenage son, Ziggy (Stranger Things' Finn Wolfhard).

If Eisenberg proves anything with When You Finish Saving the World, it’s that he can coax great lead performances and write a hell of a teen suicide joke.

That cringy dynamic was a major source of energy for the audio drama Eisenberg launched in the summer of 2020. It’s even more pronounced in the cuttingly poignant and cyanide-sweet movie he’s adapted from it...

En riktig amerikansk indiefilm med alla rutor ikryssade! Lagom skruvade karaktärer (spelade av Julianne Moore och Finn Wolfhard) i smålustiga och ibland rörande scener.

Jesse Eisenbergs debutfilm som instruktør er pinagtigt underholdende og tåkrummende menneskelig på en måde, der vækker minder om hans bedste film som skuespiller.
