Synopsis

As an asteroid nears Earth, a man finds himself alone after his wife leaves in a panic. He decides to take a road trip to reunite with his high school sweetheart. Accompanying him is a neighbor who inadvertently puts a wrench in his plan.

Our take

In her directorial debut, Lorene Scafaria (Hustlers) throws Keira Knightley in the mix with Steve Carell and other familiar faces from US television for an apocalypse road-trip rom-com. Nihilistic abandon elicits not only some darkly mischievous laughs, but also a surprisingly moving ending.
