Review of I'm Thinking of Ending Things (2020) by Upward — 04 Sep 2020

Weird, surreal, and unconventional, yet mature, beautiful, and well-developed. In true Kaufman fashion, the film is an abstract and unique exploration of crippling loneliness and the limitations of human fantasy.

Kaufman captures all the eeriness of the novel and adds his own directorial touch that elevates the film beyond its source material. It’s not an easy watch (don’t go in expecting all the answers, or any answers, really), but it’s certainly a movie I’m glad to have seen.
