![]() This story was never told from the point of view of 'we have to figure what went wrong' and therefore not getting answers shouldn't be a drawback. That story wasn't meant to have fight scenes, so I can't complain about it. It'd be like if I complained about the lack of martial arts fight scenes in Romeo and Juliet. So if people disliked the film because there was no explanation, then they're just people with wrong opinions. Jenia and Riley's discussions are more just musings between two people that, literally, have nary a clue as to what the fuck actually happened. But they never mislead you into thinking that they would provide answers. While the characters themselves have existential thoughts about what this all means, why is it them, is there some sort of divine interference here, is it a test and all sorts of other issues. ![]() And I don't think the film ever deluded itself or anybody else for that matter. You shouldn't go in expecting any sort of answers. There's absolutely no explanations whatsoever given as to what exactly happened to the world and what led to everyone's disappearance. There's no deus ex machina that involves the earth gaining back its lost population or there's a big revelation that allows Jenai and Riley to, at the very least, go back to the United States. Let's just get this out of the way and there will be SPOILERS (I can put a warning prior to the review on Letterboxd, a little box you click, but not on Flixster), so just look away or something. And I don't mean that to say that there's no real purpose to the film or its narrative, I find the exact opposite to be true, but nothingness and existentialism are some of the biggest themes the film touches upon. It relates in that you could say that this film is, essentially, about nothing. How does this relate to a film about an American couple, vacationing in Iceland, that find out that they're the only two people left on earth. Jerry Seinfeld was always awful, so I didn't care about him one bit. I think it's a terrible show that makes waste of some really talented comedic actors. I've given it shot after shot after shot and I've never gotten the appeal. I hate Seinfeld with a passion and I still do. I don't like to make statements like that, though I'm probably guilty of them, because that implies that you've seen every comedy series ever made, and not just from your own country. Here.I've heard from many people, and there's no real consensus on this, that they found Seinfeld, a show about nothing, to be the greatest television comedy series of all time. Made up of several sections (Rbc’s Emerging Storytellers program, No Borders International Co-Production Market and Spotlight on Documentaries), we find latest updates from the likes of docu-helmers Doug Block (112 Weddings) and Lana Wilson ( After Tiller), and among the narrative items we find headliners in Andrew Haigh (coming off the well received 45 Years), Sophie Barthes (Cold Souls and Madame Bovary), Terence Nance ( An Oversimplification of Her Beauty), Lawrence Michael Levine ( Wild Canaries), Jorge Michel Grau ( We Are What We Are), Eleanor Burke and Ron Eyal ( Stranger Things) and new faces in Sundance’s large family in Charles Poekel (Christmas, Again) and Olivia Newman ( First Match).
