Really great watch, would watch again, and can recommend.

This is an amazing approach to the alien invasion trope masked with a existential revelation style trope.

Honestly, I think its big mistake was using (or at least going out of its way to concentrate humor on) Brooklyn hipsters, it is really distracting.

Using the "relationship repair" out of town establishing act feels clever and the actors do a good job, but it is the tribble like creatures that really make the movie stand out.

I've been dying for a non-humanoid alien movie for a while now, and this was a great answer.

Unfortunately a massive waste of time. The premise is good, the meat of the story drags a bit, but I was bought in to it until the ending which leaves you with little to no payoff. Some “high-brow” stuff was clearly being attempted. Meant to trigger discussions about the interpretation of the ending. This attempt fails so badly that I am not willing to spend an additional minute googling to find out what it was about. If the movie didn’t respect my time enough to tell me, it doesn’t deserve even more of my time.

Sure, there are movies with open endings. But you can guess at a few different possibilities and the fun comes from figuring out which, if any is right. This movie is so open-ended that they had to explicitly show “The End” to clue viewers in that it had indeed ended. It’s almost as if they made half the movie and decided to call it quits.

Save yourself from this movie. If you really want to watch it, start the movie and stop at any point. You’ll still have a better movie than what this was. Harsh, surely, but true.

The actors are fantastic. The premise is great. The pacing is a tad slow but forgivable. The “ending” ruins everything.

Alex Huston Fischer and Eleanor Wilson haven't imagined the apocalypse with the fullness of imagination it requires - much less the weight - perhaps because, like most comedies with a side of romance, 'Save Yourselves!' is supposed to go down easy. But there's real wisdom and honesty to the way this relationship plays out, as both characters struggle to get out of the literal and proverbial woods with some perspective. Despite the doom and gloom, 'Save Yourselves!' packs in a lot of laughs - and even a little hopefulness (depending on how you interpret its wonderfully thought-provoking ending).
