What happens
How I Live Now is a 2013 romantic speculative drama film based on the 2004 novel of the same name by Meg Rosoff. It was directed by Kevin Macdonald, written by Tony Grisoni, Jeremy Brock, and Penelope Skinner, and stars Saoirse Ronan, George MacKay, Tom Holland, Harley Bird, Anna Chancellor, and Corey Johnson. The film centres around American teenager Daisy (Ronan) and her British cousins Eddie (MacKay), Isaac (Holland), and Piper (Bird), as they try to reunite during an apocalyptic nuclear war. The film premiered at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival and received mixed reviews, with some critics positively comparing Ronan's role to Jennifer Lawrence's role as Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games.
