The dramatic rhythms of tension/release... do grow a little metronymic over the long haul. But in terms of politics, the film is at its best when drawing out how polarisation tears apart families as well as nations: the personal is always political.

All the Lost Ones is the title of this frustrating movie but could also describe the plot points that lose their way. This apocalyptic drama, which takes place during an environmental crisis, is a mess of contradictions, plot holes, and hokey acting.

Like a near-future newsreel. ... The right-wing militia led by Conrad (Devon Sawa) is on a cleansing crusade and takes no prisoners, making blatant what writer-director Alex Garland suggested in the similar scenario of 'Civil War' (2024).

More mid- than post-apocalyptic, All the Lost Ones is an effective cat-and-mouse thriller about a peaceful family trying to survive a near-future civil war. Violent, but not gratuitous, it earns every splatter.
