“This is a story of survival, but it is by no means typical of the genre – instead it is sensory, tactile; a film that taps into an atavistic, instinctual primal quality that characterises newmotherhood.” – Wendy Ide, Screen Daily
“Comer’s riveting performance, physically tense with desperation, makes us believe, at least while watching, that we’d do whatever she’s doing.” – Variety
“The movie’s other strength, besides Comer, is the realism it finds in environmental catastrophe.” – The Times
Led by Jodie Comer's gripping performance in the central role,The End We Start From offers a thoughtful, haunting look at the end of the world. When an environmental crisis sees London submerged by flood waters, a young family is torn apart in the chaos. As a woman and her newborn try and find their way home, the profound novelty of motherhood is brought into sharp focus in this intimate and poetic portrayal of family survival.
