The End We Start From to Federer: Twelve Final Days

Jodie Comer stars as a refugee in dystopian Britain in a stirring drama full of peril, plus a farewell to the tennis great that will make you weep

When Britain is hit by extreme storms, Jodie Comer’s unnamed first-time mum, her husband (Joel Fry) and their newborn son flee flooded London for his parents’ rural home. But as supplies run out and the population descends into anarchy, she finds herself a refugee in her own country. Comer is magnetic as a woman forced to make snap decisions about the important things in life, while hugging her baby through moments of peril. Dystopian fiction is a handy way to distil human morality to its essentials, and in Mahalia Belo’s stirring drama, it all comes down to the meaning of home, motherhood – and how best to connect with the world.
