Be advised, however, that the idiotic ending doesn’t redeem the uneven middle portion. Read full review

James always makes a more sturdy than inspiring leading man, but the Great and Oscar winning Whitaker usually has a little more to play than this. Only Dove, playing a mistrusting young woman escaping a limited life for a far riskier one, makes a lasting impression. Read full review

How It Ends had me thinking about endings in general. How it felt like the close of this film would never come.
