The 2 main characters in Stanley (Charlie Hunnam) and Walter (Jack O'Connell) get derailed by a selfish, annoying little brat named Sky (Jessica Barden) who always plays the some old character who only causes hurt and destruction for everyone else e.g., The End of the F***ing World.
This could've been a solid film about the struggles of 2 brothers trying to make it in the world but instead got highjacked by a subplot about some old millionaire named Yates (John Cullum) who traffics women from state to state. He gets Sky pregnant, she escapes, gets caught by the gangster Pepper (Jonathan Majors) who pushes her off to the brothers because they owe him money. They get tasked with delivering her back to Yates which causes their relationship to breakdown and gets them into worse and worse situations. It's a subplot that heavily distracts from the main plot and ruins the story IMO.
