Character based drama done very well with a slow pace

I'm writing before I've completed the entire movie. As long as it isn't a nonsensical, out of left field final act, my score and review will need no edits. If it does drop the ball before the end zone, I'll be back to change my review.Anyone looking for action driven, martial arts violence, with lots of explosions will rate this low. The 3.5 this movie currently holds should be ignored if you enjoy drama that's not revealed in a rapid manner.There's a scene early on where the father is eavesdropping on his daughter & the drifter they saved. His obvious satisfaction with what he's hearing is pleasing to see and it's conveyed from his POV without any dialogue.The movie is sensually pleasing without the rated R material most films use to pry us from our dollars. I'm a 55 year old male, this movie wouldn't have interested me thirty years ago. Today, it is an escape into a world with no reason to hold onto hope and yet, mostly, they do.It's not gritty like a Tarantino flick, not at all, but there are difficulties our characters must overcome.There's also another story being told in flashbacks that combines some suspense in a drama manner. Not in the manner of a thriller, not dramatic drama ? ?. Waiting for a resolution to the current issues is matched somewhat by the waiting for the resolution to the past.It's a good take a break during winter in the recliner with a blanket and a cup of coffee or cocoa movie. I believe if people rated this movie based upon its intended depictions, they'd be more kind than 3.5.

Noteworthy, despite minor shortcomings.

"When Everything's Gone" (2020) is a noteworthy entry in the post-apocalyptic genre, offering a gripping narrative and commendable performances despite some minor shortcomings. The film follows Rory, played by Alex Alessi, as he navigates a desolate world after a mysterious event wipes out most of humanity.One of the film's strengths lies in its character-driven approach. Alessi's portrayal of Rory is both heartfelt and compelling, capturing the nuances of a man grappling with isolation and despair. The emotional depth of the character and his journey is a highlight, providing a human touch to the bleak setting.Visually, the movie excels with stunning cinematography that effectively conveys the stark beauty of a world in ruins. The haunting score complements the visuals, enhancing the film's atmosphere and emotional weight.However, the film is not without its flaws. The pacing can be uneven at times, with some scenes feeling slower than necessary. Additionally, while the character development is strong, the plot occasionally relies on familiar tropes of the genre, which might seem predictable to seasoned viewers.Despite these minor issues, "When Everything's Gone" is a powerful and thought-provoking film. Its focus on the psychological and emotional aspects of survival sets it apart, making it a memorable experience. For fans of post-apocalyptic stories that delve into the human condition, this movie is well worth the watch.
