Reviews

“Critic’s Choice! A mysterious and surprising movie. A wondrously wry and counterintuitive tale of postapocalyptic survival.”
— Justin Chang, LA Times

“A film of meticulous details and sly, subtle ironies… Köhler takes a disarmingly realistic and restrained approach to a fantastical premise: the eternally popular fantasy of the last man on earth.”
— Dennis Lim, Film Comment
