The End We Start From release date: how to watch Jodie Comer film
Comer stars as a new mother fighting against an environmental crisis in the survival movie.
With the role of Villanelle in Killing Eve, Jodie Comer announced herself as one of the best British actors of her generation, and she's been going from strength to strength ever since.
In recent years she's won a BAFTA for her role in the pandemic television film Help, picked up both an Olivier Award and a Tony for the one-woman play Prime Facie, and made a successful leap to Hollywood with roles in films such as The Last Duel and Free Guy.
Now Comer is leading the cast of the harrowing new survival film The End We Start From, which is adapted by Normal People and Dead Ringers writer Alice Birch from the novel of the same name by Megan Hunter.
