prevnextCharlie Kaufman's I'M THINKING OF ENDING THINGS is absolutely terrific. It's so very odd at times, but once you get what it's doing, the film becomes immensely powerful. I was a mess at the end & it stuck w/ me for days. A film about regret, loss, family & love that never lasts pic.twitter.com/tNsyqv7vdp

prevnextMy review of Kaufman's scary, slippery I'M THINKING OF ENDING THINGS won't be up until later, but what I'll say is that it dazzled and disquieted me. A hall of mirrors that stares into you as you stare into it, existentially acrobatic, visually striking, and acted to the nines. pic.twitter.com/rCSe60R3fa

prevnextI'M THINKING OF ENDING THINGS left me confused, devastated, rattled. A lot I didn't understand but it didn't bother me – like when you're in a relationship & you know the other person is keeping some secrets, but it's fine because that's what keeps you both afloat. Review soon!

prevnextI can finally confirm after holding my tongue for what has felt like years that I'M THINKING OF ENDING THINGS fucking *rules*. It's Charlie Kaufman at his most introspective and theatrical, and it all culminates in one of the most emotionally resonant finales in recent memory. pic.twitter.com/yTijqZXszU

prevnextCharlie Kaufman's 'I'm Thinking of Ending Things' is lusciously assembled, boasting two kinetic turns from Jessie Buckley and Jesse Plemons. Dialogue is delectable while camerawork is the chef's kiss. Feels like Kaufman's MAGNOLIA.@NetflixFilm #ImThinkingOfEndingThings pic.twitter.com/lKQWU9d3zB

prevnextCharlie Kaufman rewrites the rules of cinema with I’M THINKING OF ENDING THINGS. His most ambitious work as a director yet despite the film’s seemingly simple premise. Awkward, deliberate, symbolic & melancholy with great performances, it’ll be impossible to digest in one sitting pic.twitter.com/4AAW1yU5Rn

prevI'M THINKING OF ENDING THINGS, like all Charlie Kaufman projects, demands and rewards multiple viewings. I loved it for constantly unnerving expectations. It isn't a puzzle box, it's 1,000 puzzle pieces scattered on a puzzle-colored floor. Highly recommend. More later. pic.twitter.com/MnU2C391wg
