I'm Thinking of Ending Things Ratings & Reviews
Rolling Stone
David Fear
Delving into memory, misery and mortality...I'm Thinking of Ending Things not only nudges Kaufman back into the spotlight, it reminds you of how much his voice has been missed.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Like graphic artist Chris Ware, Kaufman is a meticulous master at capturing the beauty that lies in bleakness. He's our patron saint of desolate lives.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
"I'm Thinking of Ending Things" is an unsolvable riddle where the only answer is mankind's hopelessness, and we've been down this road before.
AV Club
A.A. Dowd
Kaufman, sneakily altering visual details from frame to frame, revives the grim absurdism of his brilliantly morose directorial debut, Synecdoche, New York.
The Jewish Chronicle
Linda Marric
Showing more maturity and self-awareness than we've seen from him before, Kaufman has taken a story which seemed almost unfilmable and made it his own.
Book & Film Globe
Sara Stewart
It's a psychological chiller perfectly suited to our frayed pandemic brains.
Filmspotting
Adam Kempenaar
There's something way beyond mere narrator unreliability being suggested here ... It's a discomforting place to be, and effectively so.
Inside Hook
Charles Bramesco
The mindbending auteur's latest film feels like a culmination of all that came before it.
The Ringer
Adam Nayman
I'm Thinking of Ending Things doesn't just dramatize this condition but embodies it through Kaufman's daringly divergent interpretation of Iain Reid's source novel-the most idiosyncratic literary adaptation since Adaptation...
Esquire Magazine
Nick Schager
It's a masterwork of unhinged tone, as well as a showcase for Buckley, whose grand performance covers an expansive stretch of emotional terrain.
ABC News
Peter Travers
One thing is for sure about Charlie Kaufman's mesmerizing mindbender that only seems to be a simple tale about a guy (Jesse Plemons) driving his girl (JessieBuckley) home to meet the parents: You won't be able to stop talking about it.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Tim Cogshell
It's quintessentially a Charlie Kaufman film -- plus one of the creepiest horror films I've ever seen.
The Atlantic
David Sims
There's a weird thrill to getting lost inside this movie, only so you can study every odd detail from new angles, over and over again.
Crooked Marquee
Kristy Puchko
It might be Kaufman's masterpiece.
Mashable
Angie Han
'm Thinking of Ending Things gives us the chance to know ourselves, and each other, a little bit better. If art has a purpose, I think it's whatever Kaufman's doing here.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
Ultimately, the movie plays like a bullet-point argument for a thesis.
NPR
Glen Weldon
I'm Thinking of Ending Things may be downbeat - and hoo boy, is it - yet it avoids the dour misanthropy of much of Kaufman's work
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
I'm Thinking of Ending Things is a special film, and occasionally an exasperating one, but not, in the end, an inaccessible one. It's a work of emotional impressionism with moments of rueful grace and startling images that evoke yearning.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
Plemons and Buckley are both absolutely phenomenal here, finding relatable character beats within a script that would have stymied other performers.
Salon.com
Gary M. Kramer
"I'm Thinking of Ending Things" is as provocative as it is exasperating. It may require repeated viewings to understand everything Kaufman is trying to achieve...but the prospect of sitting through this film twice just feels excruciating.
