Sundance movie review: When You Finish Saving the World isn t trying to. Jesse Eisenberg s debut film as a writer/director, When You Finish Saving the World, lives up to its title. It captures both the desire to make a difference and the frustration with the limitations one faces making such attempt. The title is ironic, as setting out to save the world is a task no one can complete in the best of circumstances.
