The End We Start From – far-fetched feral film with extraordinary performance from Jodie Comer and the sound department

The End We Start From is a far-fetched feral film but much more believable and effective than other movies in the genre like The Survivalist and Couple in a Hole.

Jodie Comer once again shows extraordinary commitment to a role as waters break in more than one way. Joel Fry captures his character’s poor mental health in words and physicality.

But the most fulsome credit must go to the composer (Anna Meredith) and sound editor (Jens Rosenlund Petersen) and all the foley artists who created the soundscape ... one that entirely matched the howling gale (Storm Isha) I walked into on the way out of the cinema. And have baby gurgles and moans ever sounded as good as little Zeb (played by 15 fabulous youngsters)?

A film about resilience and making the least worst decision to survive a while longer in a society and a landscape that has collapsed.
