It's occasionally tougher than it sounds, and Hawkes and Lerman are fine in their oppositional roles. But it's all so familiar, and the progress so predictable.

End of Sentence still delivers in its final moments, thanks to Hawkes and Lerman's ability to carve meaning into the spaces between words.

Tonally, the film vacillates oddly between wanting to be a complex character study and a chaotic road movie which culminates in a bafflingly ill-judged car-chase in its third act.

End of Sentence is sometimes a little too familiar and sometimes a little too willing to villainize its female characters, but John Hawkes and Logan Lerman work as a duo struggling to connect.

| Original Score: B+ | May 29, 2020
A deliberate, gentle, genuinely caring debut feature from Icelandic director Elfar Adalsteins.
