Film after film: How It Ends (dir. Daryl Wein, Zoe Lister-Jones, 2021)
It took me a while to develop consistent feelings about this film's many quirks that color this sweetly straightforward storyline, helmed confidently by Lister-Jones and Spaeny playing the same character. The problem lies with the cameos: Armisen, Whitford, and Howerton, for instance, serve more as distractions than meaningful characters. They don't act, they show up. The exception is Sharon Van Etten, who, in my favorite scene, gently nudges the film and the performers to the edge of fourth-wall-breaking. The best summary line comes from the scene, where Lister-Jones holds a two-speaker cassette player above her head, while speaking out to her ex. He says: "I hear you because there's nothing coming out of the speakers." To which she replies: "I know, I found it on the street, but I thought it was a cool visual." That's exactly what the film cares the most: cool visuals.
How it Ends (2021)
Dir. Zoe Lister-Jones & Daryl Wein
Language: English
How It Ends (dirs. Daryl Wein & Zoe Lister-Jones).
It’s a decidedly chill, ultra laidback take on the apocalypse. How It Ends has a very loose, artful appeal with shades of artistic experimentation similar to the works of Miranda July. Full of sidetrack detours that make up an entire film, Lister-Jones charms as she and Wein try to make sense of a collective sense of isolation heightened by a sense of urgency brought on by impending doom.
YS: “Honestly, what is your type?”
Liza: “Oh you know, anyone who will give me a modicum of attention, paired with a promise of rejection. A little seductive, a little sociopathic. You know, someone who could potentially love me, but also prove to me that ultimately, I’m unworthy of love.”
