Critics Consensus

Writer-director Zak Hilditch's thought-provoking screenplay -- and a stellar performance from young Angourie Rice -- make These Final Hours worth watching, even if its end-of-the-world premise is overly familiar.

3/5

Although the film lacks the bravura of Von Trier's Melancholia or the heart and humour of Don McKellar's Last Night, it does have a propulsive energy and a satisfying arc of redemption.

As low-budget Ozploitation goes, it's snappy and effective.

A more aggressive, candid look at the human condition, dropping a bit of the idealism and metaphysical musings of its Canadian counterpart.

Phillips gives his all in a display that showcases a multitude of emotions, and they all are stellar in appearance - he's come a long way from Wolf Creek and is poised to make a huge mark in the business shortly...

The world is about to end so an Austrailian man leaves his girlfriend to party as if the world is ending. Till he comes across a girl that teaches him there are more important things to do in the final moments. Very well made. Gave me some hope that people will choose to live till the final moments.

It's an emotionally difficult, brutal, but also very sensitive film about what really matters when time is running out.

Slow and transparent. Decent performances but everything is very predictable.
