The first part of the film is a straightforward drama as Justin’s wedding with Michael (Alexander Skarsgård) Her world will collapse even before anyone knows their impending doom. The despair that Dunst conveys in every move and gesture of Justin is amazing. She doesn’t have to speak out how she feels when she writes on her face.
Justin must be at a loss when the end of the world is approaching. But so were the others around her. Fun things about Justin and her sister Claire (Charlotte Gainesburg) is their way of facing the end. Justin’s response was something Claire didn’t have.
