The End of Oak Street, directed by David Robert Mitchell, is a 1980s-set story of a suburban family battling dinosaurs after a cosmic event. Critics call it a loving homage to Steven Spielberg's summer blockbusters. Rolling Stone India hails it as the best vintage-Spielberg rip-off of the decade, while The Federal praises it as delicious and utterly original. Anne Hathaway plays Denise Platt, a frustrated housewife and aspiring novelist, alongside Ewan McGregor as her husband Greg. The film runs 99 minutes and is produced by JJ Abrams.
