The End review Joshua Oppenheimer's end-of-days musical is ambitious and exhausting
Briefly

In The End, Oppenheimer presents a post-apocalyptic scenario where a privileged family attempts to maintain a facade of joy amid their dire circumstances, illustrating societal denial.
The End is an artful reflection on how privilege creates a false reality, with characters belting out show tunes despite the world around them literally falling apart.
Oppenheimer critiques the disconnect between the privileged and the suffering they cause, portraying denialism in a post-apocalypse where familial ties shield them from reality.
Shannon's character represents the struggle of the privileged to reconcile their lives with the consequences of climate change, faced with the uncomfortable truth of their complicity.
