The End of It – first-look review

Maria Martínez Bayona’s directorial debut, screened at Cannes 2026, explores immortality through Claire Fort (Rebecca Hall), a 250-year-old artist living in a society where eternal life requires strict anti-ageing protocols and synthetic body replacement. After replacing her final organic bone, Claire—now entirely artificial—confronts existential questions about humanity and mortality while curating a retrospective of her body-focused artwork. Despite a conceptually intriguing sci-fi framework examining transhumanism and bodily autonomy, the film suffers from tonal inconsistencies and unintentional comedic moments that undermine its philosophical ambitions. The supporting cast includes Noomi Rapace and Gael García Bernal. The review critiques the work as a tonally mismatched slog despite its compelling premise about synthetic existence and artistic legacy.
