From playwright, author, and Oscar-nominated actor Jesse Eisenberg, When You Finish Saving the World tells the moving and evocative story of three individuals working to understand each other and themselves: Nathan, a father learning to connect with his newborn son; Rachel, a young college student seeking to find her place in a relationship and in life, before marriage to Nathan; and Ziggy, their son, a teenager hoping to figure out where he came from, and where he’s headed. The shifts between time frames in these characters’ lives span more than a decade and eloquently capture the complexities of growing up, having children, and fitting in.
Eisenberg - the star of The Social Network, The Squid and the Whale, and Zombieland - stars as Nathan; Kaitlin Dever, star of Booksmart and Unbelieveable, is the voice of Rachel; and Finn Wolfhard, star of Stranger Things, plays Ziggy, their son.

The Rachel character already comes across as a quintessential over-privileged BLM-marching fake-woke basic Marsha from Parts 1 and 2, so I was excited for what was sure to be some huge reveal/twist that made her suddenly relatable and sympathetic. Dever's voice and reading made me VIOLENTLY ANGRY. Between the "like omg" intonation and the "I'm such a pumpkin-spice latte white girl" I actually couldn't sleep that night I was so pissed off. I had to fast forward to make it through, and only because I kept waiting for the reveal that made her not the most annoying person on earth.
But it never came.
I can't tell if Eisenberg can't write likeable female characters, or if it was Dever's pubescent portrayal of what should have been a university student (likely a combination), but it ruined what would have been an otherwise hilarious and nuanced piece.

When You Finish Saving the World was an emotional joyride. I found myself relating to each of the characters for different reasons. It takes you to the present, the future, and the past through the lenses of the characters. Admittedly, Ziggy's slang grated on my last good nerve (more because I spent so much time looking for context clues to figure out what the hell he was saying as well as the fact that it felt like listening to my son talk and trying not to stare blankly).
I found myself annoyed with Rachel's vulnerability because it mirrored my own. I found myself mentally screaming at Nathan for not doing more, for not *saying* more. I found myself wanting to hug Ziggy, ask him if he'd eaten a vegetable today, and listen to him prattle on about his highs and sighs.
More than anything, I found myself wanting to hear more. I could easily have listened to this selection if it were fifteen hours rather than five. Even at five hours, I found myself mentally staging it in my head. Free selection or not, I can't recommend this enough.
