I'm Thinking of Ending Things

DramaHorrorMysteryThriller135 min

On a snowy drive to meet her new boyfriend’s parents at their remote farm, a young woman already thinking about ending the relationship finds every mile making the trip stranger. Jessie Buckley is the unnamed girlfriend, while Jesse Plemons’s Jake fills the car ride with conversation that veers from poetry to regret. At the house, Toni Collette and David Thewlis give his parents a disorienting presence as ages, moods, and details seem to shift around her. Charlie Kaufman threads in fragments of a school janitor’s routine, turning a simple family visit into something increasingly unstable and surreal.
