When You Finish Saving the World (A24)

    Jesse Eisenberg has written and directed his first feature film, When You Finish Saving the WorldThe coming-of-age comedy-drama stars Julianne Moore and Finn Wolfhard as a mother and son caught up in complicated times. Watch the newly revealed trailer below.

    In When You Finish Saving the World, Evelyn (Moore) is the do-gooder mom to Ziggy (Wolfhard), a fuckboy more interested in Internet fame than solving the world’s problems. The trailer, however, shows the characters shift toward each other’s interests — particularly when Evelyn meets a sensitive teenage boy at her job and Ziggy develops a crush on a “brilliant and politically conscious young woman at his high school,” as a press release puts it.

    “When you were a little boy, you were my little ally,” Moore says in the trailer. “Your life was going to be happier. You were going to be one of the good ones. And then something switched in you. You stopped being interested in anything outside your own little world.”

    “Sorry about that,” Wolfhard replies sheepishly.

    Aside from his directorial debut, Eisenberg most recently appeared in front of the camera for the FX series Fleishman Is In Trouble. Meanwhile, Moore will star alongside Natalie Portman in Todd Haynes’ new film May Decemberwhile Wolfhard continues to rule Netflix with Stranger Things
