It’s 6 p.m. in Toronto, and the end is near — six hours away, actually. Everyone chooses to spend these last moments differently: Patrick attends a mock Christmas celebration, Sandra plans to commit suicide, and Craig tries to have as much sex as he can. But some things are not set in stone…

What are critics saying?
A smart and somber little film with some decent performances and a few sharp observations about function and futility, but I can't help wishing that the picture, like it's characters, had not gone quite so gentle into that good night.
New York Daily News by Jack Mathews
Though the film is dark and the ideas run deep, it's perversely fun to think about.
Chicago Reader by Lisa Alspector
The narrative emphasizes coincidences, but they're nicely understated. If it didn't seem gimmicky and self-indulgent...the movie might be more affecting.
TV Guide Magazine by Maitland McDonagh
There are poignant moments in this apocalyptic "what if" exercise.
Washington Post by Stephen Hunter
An end-of-the-world movie like no other.
Austin Chronicle by Steve Davis
In contemplating whether the world will end with a bang or a whimper, it reveals a little something of the human condition as we enter a new age.
San Francisco Examiner by Wesley Morris
A shockingly eloquent, nearly moving feat of Y2K-trendiness.
