The tone is not perfect and I would even say that is almost impossible to balance drama and comedy with such strong and immediate situation: the climate phenomenon and the group suicide theme. Unfortunately, the comedy didn't work for me and felt forced, so the biggest impact was on the emotional side.
The film has some things to say, but, more importantly, a lot of questions to make us think: about the way we treat our planet, about the way we treat the others, if we still have time, if we want/should fight, the importance of our choices, of our family, of our friends, life, suffer, acceptance. There are some really impactful scenes (the ending is good - even if slightly predictable - but also the scenes when Art find out the car and when they are speaking with the grandma are highlights) and it's a film that is not afraid to make you uncomfortable, no matter the side and the interpretation you want to make of it.
Not perfect and I kind of think that is could have been memorable with a different tone. However, it's very unique, really well acted and shot and a challenging final product.
