Stars: Julianne Moore, Finn Wolfhard, Billy Bryk, Alisha Boe, Jack Justice | Written and Directed by Jesse Eisenberg
Evelyn (Julianne Moore) has devoted herself to helping people in hard times, but she struggles to connect with her son Ziggy (Finn Wolfhard), an aspiring internet star oblivious to the problems of the world. As Evelyn attempts to become a parent figure to an unassuming teenager she meets at her shelter, and Ziggy fumbles through his pursuit of a brilliant and politically conscious young woman at his high school, this emotional comedy reveals a funny and sharply perceptive portrait of a mother and son who may seem at odds but who are more alike than either would care to admit.
If there’s one massive takeaway from When You Finish Saving the World, it’s that Jesse Eisenberg certainly has a promising career as a writer and director one day if he ever wants to continue pursuing it.

"Ziggy, are you happy?" A24 has revealed an official trailer for Jesse Eisenberg's feature directorial debut called When You Finish Saving The World, which first premiered 2022 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year.
