I'm Thinking of Ending Things
I’m Thinking of Ending Things is not a bad movie exactly and it’s premise is interesting, but it’s so grating of a watch to get to the end that it just cannot possibly be recommended. Jord, who has both read the book and watched this, much preferred the book to this, and while I have not read the book, I’ll stand by his assessment.

Such a tough, confusing watch. My brain gave up trying to decode the plot and message, and while I was still along for the ride for whatever came next, it did not feel satisfying at all. I had a student write a paper about this film years ago that left me with the impression that this was a multi-layered masterpiece of storytelling, but I would argue that the plot feels more inaccessible than necessary. I just did not get it.
