I like films where nothing happens - It's Only the End of the World review by SJ
Nothing happens in the film in terms of car crashes or gun fights! Its a well done study of the stramash you might expect from a less than cohesive family meeting the 'golden boy' who has shunned his family for so long. I have my limit on boring films but this was fine for me. I can't imagine anyone sitting down and watching this who doesn't know what they are getting from the description and trailer like the chap who gave it a one star review. Some of the dialogue and interplay is a bit odd in its lack of fluency and the boundaries between characters are not healthy. Glad I watched it. Hope you do too - lol.

Dull - It's Only the End of the World review by CP Customer
This may be a worthy film, but the first half was so dull that I stopped watching. Apparently a review has to be at least 100 characters long, so I had to add another sentence. Frankly I don't know why I bothered writing anything. But, I guess, if it helps someone who might otherwise waste time renting this, then it's worth it.
If you like slow films where 5 people just talk, go for it. Otherwise give it a miss.
