Poster E N G L I S H Strange, strong, symbolic and structurally astute. I'm Thinking of Ending Things is one of those films that you can't simply ignore while watching, as every sequence is important and paves the twisted path it makes us run on. The main task is psychological and visual symbolism, drawing us into the world of a disturbed mind. It's been a long time since I've been struck by a film with a very unusu…More

I don't need films to be laid out on a silver platter for me and I do enjoy a bit of mystery and hidden secrets in a film but I think that this one may have gone too far in how vague everything that happens in it plays out. By the time I made it to the end of this film I honestly had no idea what had just happened and was extremely confused. It wasn't until a went and read the notes of director Charlie Kaufman that…More
This post is my entry to the @cinetv Contest This film isn't scary in the traditional jump scare or monster in the closet kind of scary. However, to me, this film resembles the evolution of horror movies. It goes beyond horror because while it does contain a chunk of horror in it, it focuses on a much bigger feeling: Dread. If you have certain posts of mine here, you'd know that Charlie Kaufman is my favorite screen…More
I remember having to stop this movie in the middle because it was affecting me more than I expected, then after being distracted for half an hour I was able to continue it and it didn't matter because I was still turned into pieces of glass that cut me all over the place when I tried to clean it. I saw it mainly because someone told me they didn't like it, and when I hear that from a lot of very particular people I…More

Source Any films directed or written by Charlie Kaufman can send you on a journey of introspection. They are often very bizarre and may seem like one of those cheap films cashing on twists and non-linear story-lines or time travel concepts — but Kaufman has enough substances and philosophical punch to back his alleged craziness up. I've been a fan of Kaufman's writing for a long time now. He's better at writing than…More
This film was a weird one. Since the pandemic has delayed a lot of major releases I was excited to see this new Netflix movie, it looked promising but in the end, I didn't like it. It was too surreal and bizarrely artistic for me. The actual plot, which is never explained in the film but only slightly implied in several scenes, is actually very intriguing and potentially mind-bending. It is the dragging execution th…More
