The End (2024) review

A family consisting of former energy company executive (Michael Shannon), his "ballerina" wife (Tilda Swinton) and their naïve son (George MacKay) - as well as a few others, including a friend (Bronagh Gallagher) and a physician (Lennie James) - live inside an opulent bunker (within an abandoned salt mine) after the "world" has supposedly "ended," but when a girl (Moses Ingram) appears, they provide care of her despite not trusting her ... and their son and the girl "fall in love."  Prior to this Oppenheimer has, for the most part, created documentary projects, but it doesn't seem like fiction is something he's completely comfortable making: running over two hours, the film is totally drawn out, he doesn't understand how to generate tension (events transpire and in the next scene they're largely forgotten about), the terrible musical numbers do not get close to fitting into whatever is actually happening and the movie's mostly nonsense, so it (accidentally?) ends up a being a defense of voluntary seclusion.  Don't even bother trying to ask yourself practical questions regarding the setup: if the apocalypse did take place how do they keep getting supplies and medicine?  Where did all the fine art come from?  (Did they steal it?)  And why write a book if no one is left to read it?
