Review For Seeking a Friend for the End of the World
Steve Carell and Keira Knightley make for one of the most unlikely and yet one of the most touching romantic couples of the year. Richard Roeper-Richard Roeper.com This is an exceedingly promising directorial debut for Scafaria, who adapted the winning romance Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist. Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post The genuine sweetness of the friendship that develops between these two wins out over any of the movie's failings. Ian Buckwalter-The Atlantic A movie that may be, in its own small, weird way, the most bizarrely bittersweet and oddly beautiful romance you've seen in quite awhile. Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger Scafaria seems to get disoriented by her own scenario, boxing herself into an apocalypse whose initial absurdities feel so wonderfully right, but where to go from there? Rick Groen-Globe and Mail It's too bad the movie chose to go so gentle into that good night. Rafer Guzman-Newsday Lorene Scafaria's Seeking a Friend for the End of the World is a bleak, honest and slightly humorous look at the end of the world that works tremendously well. Jeremy Lebens-We Got This Covered When it comes to Keira Knightley, you can see the cogs grinding; it's far too arch a performance. It's impossible to buy this budding romance. Ian Berriman-SFX Magazine Seeking a Friend mocks the modern rom-com formula, but its apocalyptic gags soon give way to a heart-breaking love story. Christian Toto-Big Hollywood 'Seeking a Friend for the End of the World' is funny, but also profound and tragic. Robert Roten-Laramie Movie Scope Scafaria's brand of refreshingly sharp wit and insight will deliver for her fans but it wouldn't be the end of the world if you sought the movie out on the home video circuit. Kofi Outlaw-ScreenRant A heartfelt romantic-comedy that turns a predictable story into a genuinely enjoyable adventure. Sam Bathe-Fan The Fire Seeking a Friend is two potentially great films fused into one. Unfortunately, the two halves don't peacefully coincide... Adam Ross-The Aristocrat Seeking A Friend for the End of the World is one of my favorite movies of the year; I loved every minute of it, especially any time Carell and Knightley get to share the screen and talk. Jonathan Lack-We Got This Covered While the idea of impending doom might suggest darker themes and a downbeat plot, this is an altogether calmer-geddon, with a muted, nuanced lead performance from Steve Carell, a cool-kid soundtrack and heartwarming overtones. Matt Looker-TheShiznit.co.uk Each scene plays out like a cleverly crafted vignette that gives the film a freshness and propulsion often missing from the romantic comedy genre. It also doesn't hurt to throw the looming apocalypse in there for good measure. Justin Craig-FoxNews.com Writer/director Lorene Scafaria moves her apocalyptic rom-com into new territory for such a formula-driven genre. Jim Schembri-3AW Heart and humour in the countdown to Armageddon. Don Groves-sbs.com.au Lorene Scafaria, the screenwriter behind Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, makes a charming directorial debut with Seeking a Friend for the End of the World. Tara Brady-Irish Times "Knock knock." "Who's there?" "Armageddon". "Armageddon who?" "Armageddon tired of watching this lousy movie." Philip French-Observer [UK] A funnier, deadly ironic ending was surely on the cards, but even without, this is a disarming, largely entertaining smattering of philosophies and worldviews. Shaun Munro-What Culture Scafaria makes sure that the apocalypse may be in full impact but the importance of having each other at the last moment is the lasting, comforting thought. Lisa Giles-Keddie-Real.com With a few surprises in store and some good music choices, this is a little gem of a film. Roz Laws-Birmingham Mail Brilliantly sweet and snarky. Jon Hamblin-SFX Magazine Intelligence and subtle wit inform debut director Lorene Scafaria's heartfelt look at unlikely romance blossoming in the shadow of Earth's obliteration by a giant asteroid. Alan Jones-Radio Times This is half a good film but hardly a wholly satisfactory one. Derek Malcolm-This is London
