James always makes a more sturdy than inspiring leading man, but the Great and Oscar winning Whitaker usually has a little more to play than this. Only Dove, playing a mistrusting young woman escaping a limited life for a far riskier one, makes a lasting impression. - 50
ReelViews
Be advised, however, that the idiotic ending doesn’t redeem the uneven middle portion. - 50
The New York Times
it’s a surprisingly O.K. addition to the genre. - 42
Consequence
How It Ends ends with something of a whimper, leaving us feeling as if a compelling story was undercut by being told through its least interesting characters. - 25

How It Ends had me thinking about endings in general. How it felt like the close of this film would never come. How we so commonly return in cinema, especially lately, to visions of the end of the world. How the actual ending of this film is an atrocious cheat. Trust me, you’re better off not even beginning.
