Lorene Scafaria’s Seeking a Friend for the End of the World is the apocalyptic film we’ve all been waiting for, because it depicts the end realistically, with a lot of heart and love thanks to its two leads Steve Carell and Keira Knightley. It’s bleak and cold one minute and then so incredibly direct and sincere the next. I think I’m in love!" 80/100
