01
Why this pick
Its unexplained global disappearance shares Last Night’s calm-after-panic atmosphere, using a sparse city and impending finality to explore loneliness, responsibility and fragile human bonds.
02
Why this pick
For the same deadpan, quietly unsettling blend of existential dread and dark comedy: a pristine, emotionally hollow world makes small gestures of human feeling hit unexpectedly hard.
03
Why this pick
A more frantic companion to Last Night: an ordinary night becomes a possible apocalypse, balancing romantic urgency, urban unease and gallows humour without losing its human scale.
04
Why this pick
Though not apocalyptic, its patient, minimal approach to mourning and time echoes the melancholy stillness of Last Night, privileging small domestic moments over grand cosmic explanation.

01 / THE STORY
In Toronto, a group of friends and family prepare for the end of the world, expected at midnight as the result of a calamity that is not explained, but which has been expected for several months. There has been panic and rioting after the imminent catastrophe was announced, but the chaos has since largely died down, with only sporadic murders and robberies. On the last evening, depressed widower Patrick meets with his family, including his sister Jennifer, for a mock Christmas dinner and celebration, though he leaves prematurely to spend his final hours alone in his apartment. He unexpectedly meets Sandra, who is stranded in the city and attempting to reunite with her new husband Duncan, who works at a power company. Duncan spends much of the day calling his customers to reassure them that their heating gas will be kept on until the very end. Sandra and Duncan have a suicide pact. Although intending to die alone, Patrick invites Sandra up to his apartment and attempts to help her find her husband.
