Cuando termines de salvar el mundo

The movie never really went anywhere. It was the tale of a mom and son drifting apart, that's pretty much it.

The son is a total self absorbed Gen Z kid, looking to make a name for himself as a singer. The Mom is totally aloof and married to her job.

They each fill the void they feel with something. The son fills his void by trying to win over the girl of his dreams with his music. The Mom fills her void by befriending a boy (her sons age) at her shelter and treating him like a son. I'm sure you can guess what happens at the end.

Everything is just so dull in this movie. The acting isn't great at all. Finn Wolfhard is okay in Stranger Things, but not here. In all honesty, I don't think he's a good actor. He isn't likable. Julianne Moore is capable of better.

All in all, I would say to skip this movie. It's so dull and just not worth watching. If you must watch, don't say I didn't warn you.

This gets a LennyReviewz Score of: 3/10.

The first big positive about this film is that Jesse Eisenberg decided to not be in it as an actor, just a director. Then they must have thought, if Jesse wont be acting how do we find an equally bad actor who can star in it. Then the answer is, Finn Wolfhard is pretty bad at acting let´s cast him. Finn Wolfhard is another of those hollywood actors/actresses that gets casted and you must wonder which wellconnected hollywood mogul he is related to, to get parts in any movie. The film itself is ok and Julianne Moore is great as always. Unfortunately a class actress in a lead role cant save a movie when the other main "star" just can´t act. A shame for Julianne, she deserved better.

When You Finish Saving The World is more a drama than a comedy/drama. I didn't get the comedy in this movie if I have to be honest. Maybe it just wasn't my kind of humour. That said as a drama it's watchable. Not really my favourite genre of movies though so you could say a six stars rating for this one is pretty high considering the genre. It's all about two characters played by Finn Wolfhard and Julianne Moore. One struggling with what is important in life and another struggling in being a good mother instead of acheaving that at her job. The acting was okay, the story passable. It's easy to follow but not really interesting that I want to watch it again in the future.

Hesitated between a 4-6 rating. Some stops of the film convey the gist of the story. Some are muddled, expected, and very naïve. Moore's pursuit of improving Kyle's life brushes off as a consequence to chasing off a romantic interest at some parts. Also, her performance is visibly dry at a lot of scenes. Glad to see how Finn has been shying away from Stranger Things shelter. However, his real-life personality has been shining through his acting since 2019 which requires a bit of improvement. A great performance from his end nonetheless. Maybe a bit of coherence to characters' purpose would have been better.

Like mother, like son, and son and mother don't like each other.

Why does it seem that the newfound subgenre "cringeworthy" seems to be relegated to comedy? This one may have broken the mold. When You Finish Saving The World is most certainly a drama, and one that made me want to crawl out of my skin.

As two generations of misguided self-do-gooding profiteers of ego poke at each other's motives while simultaneously pretending the other does not exist, the damage they do to themselves and their own self image is a big pill to swallow.

This is a well acted, no budget watchable train wreck to which you just might relate.

Check it out. It's pretty funny.
