Review: 4:44 Last Day On Earth
“The countdown to the apocalypse becomes a celebratory wake in Abel Ferrara’s transcendent 4:44: Last Day on Earth. Eschewing sci-fi escapism for a raw and intimate portrait of a New York artist couple (Willem Dafoe, and Ferrara’s real-life redhead girlfriend, Shanyn Leigh) riding out the end of times — guaranteed to hit at 4:44AM– in their Lower East Side apartment, Ferrara’s personal film is likely to flummox filmgoers and critics inured to the cheap thrills of CGI bombast and fashionably empty nihilism.”
