I'm Thinking of Ending Things Ratings & Reviews
- Patrick Willis14 February 2026Some startling moments of sheer acting brilliance does not do a thing to hide the fact that the entire piece is one giant load of horseshit. At its core, I'm Thinking of Ending Things is not a film; it's an act of aggression against its audience, a smug exercise in cinematic masturbation that glaringly mistakes obscurity for depth. The film is so drenched in pretentiousness that it becomes loathsome, using philosophical name-dropping and literary references not to explore ideas, but to create an insiders club that leaves the average viewer feeling mocked for their inability to decipher the "puzzle". Self-Indulgent Drivel Disguised as Art!!! Do not waste your time on this yiddite doozy.
- Spanktacular1 March 2025A poem as a movie.
- cultfilmliker10 October 2025She is Waluigi “No worries.” …and THAT’S why I only gave A Woman Under The Influence 4.5 stars (lol) Thank you for reinforcing my belief I should not have kids. We definitely do affect our children for life and I am in no position to have the power to shape that effect! Way too relatable. Even up to the main character looking and sounding like an ex-gf of mine. If I was on shrooms, I would be losing my mind Jessie Buckley plays neurotic very well. Like a female Jesse Eisenberg lolol (she’s also insanely gorgeous) The Robert Zemeckis bit had me hootin’ & hollerin’ We never really grow up! “Art is imitation, creation is forever / Innovation is spontaneous, never / A lot of rappers put the work in so you could be clever / Everything is everything is everything is everything, ever” - Lil Ugly Mane, On Doing An Evil Deed Blues Charlie Kaufman smart as hell. And anxious as fuck
- sopula14 January 2026i'm not one to decipher a "dream" movie so on first watch it was a very weird, pretty funny little nonsense surreal comedy but after being told what the story actually is and then re-watching it I enjoyed it a lot more, all of the strange nonsense made perfect sense and I feel like I almost completely understand the character's whole life. a big bag of fun
- Vitor Lameirão Alves28 December 2025A cerebral, unsettling puzzle reminiscent of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind’s existential strangeness. Pretentious… or genius? Charlie Kaufman’s voice permeates, leaving the audience unsure what to feel. A thought-provoking, darkly humorous, and weirdly mesmerizing exploration of identity and perception. Intriguing, confusing, and memorable in equal measure.
- neuroparadox28 September 2025Finally! A movie that gets easier to understand as the plot unravels! 🤥🤫🧐🤯
- Rick14 June 2025At first I thought I was too dumb to get what was going on. Then I read some commentary and realized I did get it, and the whole thing was just super pretentious and meandering. I will say I the performances in the movie were excellent though.
