Surah Baqarah Verse 48

And fear a Day when no soul will suffice for another soul at all, nor will intercession be accepted from it, nor will compensation be taken from it, nor will they be aided.

In the "Play" of life we have certain worldly props we depend on which are:

• Support from others- such as our children, parents, wealth etc
• Help from Influential people
• Asking others to intercede on our behalf
• Ransom's and bribes

In this beautiful Ayah Allah swt destroys all these worldly props saying

No support, no help, No intercession, No ransom will benefit you on the day of Judgment..

But the difference between the 'Plays" of the dunya and Allah's Book is that reviews of a play in dunya are given AFTER the play is over but Allah swt is giving us the review BEFORE the play of Life is Over! so it is up to us to benefit from the review before we "Perform" each act in every step of our life. It teaches us that if we want to see good reviews of our Life On the day of Judgment we need to Prepare well ahead for that day
