When You Finish Saving the World

88 min 2023

What does it take to truly connect with someone when you’re both speaking a different emotional language? This question lies at the heart of When You Finish Saving the World, a poignant and sharply observed 2023 comedy-drama. The film follows Evelyn, a fiercely dedicated shelter director a growing fanbase but a shrinking bond with his own mother. Each is trying to change the world in their own way—she through activism, he through art—yet neither can figure out how to save their relationship. Exploring themes of generational disconnect, performative empathy, and the quiet ache of modern family life, the movie offers both laughter and moments of startling recognition. It’s for anyone who’s ever felt misunderstood by the people they love most. Directed with a compassionate yet unflinching eye, this character-driven story reminds us that sometimes the hardest person to save is the one right in front of you.
