The End Is Not What I Thought It Would Be is this intriguing documentary that captures a very raw and intimate look at performance art during a time of isolation. Shot in a small experimental theatre in Queens, you feel the weight of those empty seats, the palpable absence of an audience. The filmmaker and her composer partner create a sort of makeshift ritual, performing nightly, and it’s all so beautifully melancholic. The pacing flows between moments of quiet reflection and bursts of creative energy, which really highlights the struggle and resilience of art in times of crisis. It's not just about the performance itself but also about the emotional landscape created by the pandemic's impact on their craft. You can sense the authenticity and the urgency in every frame. There's something really distinctive about how they embraced the void and turned it into this fascinating exploration of connection and absence.
