As the year comes to a close, studios are getting into the mix, still releasing some last-minute titles into the fray (see Michel Franco’s “Memory” with Jessica Chastain). Another late entry in the 2023 films sweepstakes is “The End From Where We Start,” a new ecological disaster drama starring Jodie Comer (“Killing Eve”) and the directorial debut from director Mahalia Belo, a BAFTA TV Award winner for the 2017 TV film, “Ellen” and a 2019 BAFTA TV Award nominee for 2019’s mini-series “The Long Song.”
“The End From Where We Start” is based on the best-selling novel by Megan Hunter and adapted for screen by “Succession” writer Alice Birch. The cast is rounded out by Katherine Waterston, Joel Fry, Gina McKee, Nina Sosanya, Mark Strong, and Benedict Cumberbatch.
Here’s the official synopsis:
When an environmental crisis sees London submerged by flood waters, a young family is torn apart in the chaos. As a woman and her newborn try and find their way home, the profound novelty of motherhood is brought into sharp focus in this intimate and poetic portrayal of family survival.
“The End From Where We Start” made its world premiere at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival and also screened at the 2023 BFI London Film Festival and the 2023 AFI Film Festival.
Paramount’s Republic Pictures will release “The End From Where We Start” in New York and Los Angeles theaters on December 8, 2023, followed by a nationwide release on January 19, 2024. Watch the first official trailer below.
