Photo: 'I’m Thinking of Ending Things'/Netflix With dizzying intellect and a flurry of references from Hollywood and beyond, we are once again willfully encapsulated in Charlie Kaufman’s snow-globe. Kaufman’s imaginative dialogue and poetic prose launch us into an existential black hole, forcing us to contend with the nonlinear nature of time passing, the isolation one can feel in relationships and the dread around the degenerative decline of our bodies and minds as we age. 'I’m Thinking of Ending Things' tells the story of a young woman who contemplates her inevitable break up while on the way to meet her boyfriend’s parents. Starring Jesse Plemons, the doomed boyfriend, whose disquieting performance complements Kaufman’s atmosphere of general malaise. Plemons, previously playing the mild-mannered sociopath Todd in, ‘El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie’ portrays a familiar aberration which seems like it could have been the performative prelude to his casting here.
