Jun 14, 2025Like mother, like son, and son and mother don't like each other. Why does it seem that the newfound subgenre "cringeworthy" seems to be relegated to comedy? This one may have broken the mold. When You Finish Saving The World is most certainly a drama, and one that made me want to crawl out of my skin. As two generations of misguided self-do-gooding profiteers of ego poke at each other's motives while simultaneously pretending the other does not exist, the damage they do to themselves and their own self image is a big pill to swallow. This is a well acted, no budget watchable train wreck to which you just might relate. Check it out. It's pretty funny.
