When You Finish Saving the World Ratings & Reviews
RogerEbert.com
Sheila O'Malley
The characters are broadly drawn and mostly broadly played, so much so that the film plays like a skit about clueless do-gooder liberals.
TIME Magazine
Stephanie Zacharek
Gentle, interwoven tensions... hold When You Finish Saving the World together, albeit just barely.
The New Yorker
Anthony Lane
Although "When You Finish Saving the World" is... taut with unhappiness, it allows itself to be funny...
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
Eisenberg's screenplay is thoughtful, with an actor's sensitivity to tone and character and impeccable casting choices.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
"When You Finish Saving the World" has its well-turned moments, but when you want it to be gloriously messy about families and human interactions, it stays resolutely in lab mode.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
It becomes a chore to spend even an 88-minute movie with his increasingly off-putting characters. We know they're not supposed to be likable, but they should be more interesting.
Austin Chronicle
Richard Whittaker
The simplification to fit into the tauter film version strips away much of the nuance and replaces it with a message about intergenerational disconnect that verges on trite.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Casually satirizing the empty suck of social media and a do-gooder impulse that's practiced solely with strangers, "World" is at times almost cartoonishly cruel.
Associated Press
Lindsey Bahr
Eisenberg, who has already proven himself to be a talented, unsparing writer, shows promise as a director. He has not made a flashy art film, but it's a smart, biting and occasionally sweet character piece.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
Eisenberg's adaptation of his own 2020 audio play is acutely observant of these sometimes flailing characters who can't seem to understand that what they're looking for is right in front of them.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
The premise is a flimsy one, in a slight story that skims across the surface of Ziggy and Evelyn's problem without gaining any purchase - or real insight.
BuzzFeed News
Elamin Abdelmahmoud
At the center of the film, Eisenberg's fundamental question seems to be: It shouldn't be this hard to be good, should it? It's a question worth asking.
National Newspaper Publishers Association
Dwight Brown
Family drama takes a turn left in this biting satire.
Autostraddle
Drew Gregory
Inexplicably written and directed by 38-year-old year actor Jesse Eisenberg and not a 70-year-old professor trying his hand at playwrighting, one of Sundance's buzziest titles is also one of its worst.
Thrillist
Esther Zuckerman
You can feel the nervous, motor-mouthed energy Jesse Eisenberg brings out of his best performances in his directorial debut, When You Finish Saving the World.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
A hollow film about people fundamentally misunderstanding the dynamics of the relationships they so desperately want to work.
Fox 10 Phoenix
Caroline Siede
It takes a minute to get onboard with the rigid, robotic way in which the characters in this world interact, but once you do, a multitude of pleasures await [in Eisenberg's] poignant, drily comedic 21st century comedy of manners.
Slant Magazine
Chris Barsanti
Jesse Eisenberg's satire hits its targets dead on, but he flattens his mother-and-son narcissists to the point of caricature.
Entertainment Weekly
Leah Greenblatt
You may not particularly love these characters, but that's no match for how little they like themselves.
Variety
Amy Nicholson
Eisenberg has made a satire that exists in shades of beige, as though he challenged himself to remake "Brave New World" in burlap. (He's even invented his own slang - a challenge isn't "difficult," it's "tera-hard.")
