Review of I'm Thinking of Ending Things (2020) by Gts08 — 08 Nov 2022

7.5/10 according to me.

Felt like a bit overlooked when it came to the Oscars, Golden Globes or quite literally any awards. But, it's one of my favorite movies of 2020 and there are reasons why. First, I love Kaufman's works, so loved this one as well. The entire film feels like a fever dream, especially in the second half, it is so surreal and weird, and most people hated it for that. And also because it is pretty slow, even towed at points, but I was never bored. The characters are bizarre enough, the setting was such a great choice, and most importantly: the usual Kaufmanesque twist is there as well. And it hits hard. Because there is a feel of unease and eeriness throughout the entire film; something isn't right, it is too weird to be real. And yeah, I kind of spoiled you the twist now, but it is the experience that I liked the most in i'm thinking of ending things. The existential crisis, the deep philosophy.
