'The End' Review: Tilda Swinton and Michael Shannon Sing for Their Lives in Joshua Oppenheimer's Post-Apocalyptic Musical
Briefly

In 'The End,' Joshua Oppenheimer presents a uniquely theatrical story where wealth shields a family from confronting their past, revealing their buried humanity only when faced with a knock.
Oppenheimer’s characters, trapped for 25 years in an underground bunker, encounter a knock that ignites suppressed emotions and confronts their denial of life's realities outside their shelter.
'The End' offers more than suspense; it explores the hesitations and fears of a family who, despite being in a post-apocalyptic scenario, grapple with deeper existential questions.
Amidst forced musical optimism, 'The End' leads us not to anticipate external conflicts but to a reflective journey on the complex motivations behind human behavior.
