Mile still packs a wallop, especially when everything goes to hell and our lovers are forced to confront their mortality. The gorgeous, unbearable feeling of doom that De Jarnatt evokes is, well, miraculous.

Holy God, somebody showed me this depressing on my birthday long ago. I decided afterwards they didn't like me very much.

Surprisingly good little film, if too bleak to be any fun.

A strikingly original, if relentlessly bleak, nuclear thriller.
