Lister-Jones and Wein shot
How It Ends during the current covid-19 pandemic, so the whole movie has a very socially distanced vibe. The Lizas walk around LA talking to people, most of whom are played by famous actors Liza sometimes knows and sometimes doesn’t (Nick Kroll, Olivia Wilde, and Charlie Day are a few, as well as several others I wouldn’t want to spoil). Each encounter then becomes almost its own mini-scene that’s either for played for laughs, tears, or some absurd mixture of both. And each time Liza learns a little bit more about herself, her life, the importance of relationships, and so much more. The conceit is a way for the filmmakers to get across a lot of complex sometimes opposing ideas, all within the same narrative.
