The Last Earth Girl

The film starts out by telling you how it's going to end. An unknown event has occurred in space and in 7 years, the Earth will be destroyed. And that's where the film really starts. With that in mind, a young woman decides to stop giving in to the crumbling world around her and figure out what really matters to her and how to get there. This truly existential film starts off extremely dark and gets darker from there, but in this bleak look at the end of the world and life, there is hope that the end is not the answer, the goal is not the ends. The true value of life is the road traveled and the people we meet along the way.

Really enjoyed this indie drama and would highly recommend.

And I don't mean slow in a bad way but if you're looking for a edge of your seat thrillride, you might want to keep moving. But, if you're looking for a dark film that takes away all hope but sees the characters trying to survive despite the end looming, then this is a film for you.

And don't worry about the religious tones because this really isn't a spiritual film, but more one that seeks to understand the concept of God or his absence in the wake of world-ending events.

Might have been better with a bigger budget but still solid.

Watched this with my husband over the weekend and we both really enjoyed it. It came recommended to us by a friend of his as a different kind of indie film that really stood out to him and I completely agree.

The lead actress did a great job in the piece as well as several of the supporting actors. My favorites were probably the space center lead guy and also the older guy who questioned her about what she was doing. And I'll admit, I was surprised at the plot of the film at first, but then began to understand exactly what it was attempting and really got into it.

My only criticisms were that I feel the filmmaker tried to take on a larger project than they could handle and I wish they had perhaps a bigger budget to try and pull something like this off, but none-the-less, I enjoyed it very much!

The world is ending and with only a few years left, what will you do? That's the plot of The Last Earth Girl and following the story of a woman trapped alone in a tiny spaceship soaring away from the Earth, we learn the story behind her.

I'm a fan of dark films and stories, and this hits home among the best of them. But what pulls it across the finish line for me is the enduring theme of perseverance and continuing on despite the entire world ending. Which definitely seems like a good lesson for this year.

Would highly recommend to fans of dark, brooding, storytelling.

The film may have started out slow, but the pacing was well worth it as the story unfolded to show a world enveloped in dread of the coming apocalypse. And that sense of cosmic horror really helped sell the desperation of the main character to me. I also wasn't sure if I would be able to get into the film because of the religious aspects but soon realized that this isn't a religious film but a philosophical film that questions the ideas and concepts of God. Would highly recommend.
