About This Movie

So, 'I'm Thinking of Ending Things' is quite the head trip. Kaufman, as usual, dives deep into the psyche, mixing horror with an unsettling atmosphere that lingers. The pacing is deliberately slow, which may throw some off, but it builds this tension that’s hard to shake off. The performances are layered—Jessie Buckley brings a haunting quality, and Toni Collette shines in some really surreal moments. You feel like you’re peeling back layers of reality, and those practical effects? Subtle yet effective. It’s all about the themes of regret and the nature of relationships, and it gets under your skin in a way that’s distinctive. This definitely isn’t your run-of-the-mill thriller.
