2/4
Though it gains traction toward the end, viewers may finally feel puzzled or indifferent. You expect a bit more from the end of the world. Go to Full Review Scott Tobias NPR 03/23/2012
Rehashing old arguments in the hours before certain death is a tedious waste of time - theirs, and ours. Go to Full Review Stephanie Zacharek Movieline 03/23/2012

Watching the excessively craggy Dafoe and the excessively nubile Leigh roll around on their pre-Apocalyptic mattress was certainly good for a giggle. Go to Full Review D.M. Palmer Vague Visages 11/09/2023
The knowledge of this loss permits the artist to arrive at a truer recognition of self, to cast off all previous encumbrances and allow the fatalistic spirit to become a crucible, forging fresh perspectives... Go to Full Review Mitchell Beaupre Paste Magazine 09/23/2022

Ferrara doesn’t hide from death in his films—quite the opposite, clearly. Yet you also can’t say that his work feels hopeless, nor pessimistic. Go to Full Review Kathi Maio The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction 03/06/2020
I'm not quite sure when 4:44 moves from serious to silly, but for me it was early on. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jay O @ReviewerOfMovies Jan 20 Didn't include Jay-Z's song. Instant trash See more Lúcio Leonardo P @Lucio 01/25/2024 Yet another different way of approaching the end of the world, without aliens, explosions or natural catastrophes. The film focuses on the final moments of a couple and the result is: monotonous, boring, sleepy, bad, bad and bad... I think they tried to show the dilemmas that the relationship tries to resolve, but I realized that it's about the decisions that the character that William Dafoe plays, took on his life and the fear of dying without resolving them. The actor himself can't handle making the film, as his performance is far from the best. And besides, 90% of the film is filmed in an apartment and its balcony, the other 10% is when Dafoe goes on a getaway... And not only is the film disastrous, the trailer is also a mess, except for the soundtrack See more 03/09/2021 This is really bad. It's so boring and slow paced. I was hoping they would change it to 2:22 so it could be over sooner. What a piece of dreck this is. See more 06/25/2020 Simply... a real stiff of a movie. See more 07/28/2017 Two lovers (Willem Dafoe, Shanyn Leigh) immerse themselves in sex, art and other activities after word breaks that the world will end by the next morning. Not a very engaging movie. Most of the characters are not doing anything worth watching. See more 05/27/2017 A uniquely personal apocalypse flick. Defoe is great, co-star is so-so. Couple interesting scenarios, but never truly engaging or worthwhile. Ending is a bust. Not even a rental. See more Read all reviews
