September Picks: The Movies and TV You Can't Miss5 of 17
I'm Thinking of Ending Things | Premieres Friday, Sept. 4 on Netflix
Plot: Full of misgivings, a young woman travels with her new boyfriend to his parents' secluded farm. Upon arriving, she comes to question everything she thought she knew about him, and herself. Based on Iain Reid's acclaimed novel.
Our Take: From Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind to Synecdoche, New York, I've always loved the audacity and ambition of Charlie Kaufman's storytelling, but I'd be lying if it didn't sometimes feel like "work" to decipher his work. But first looks at his latest looks like pure joy for the art-house horror audience, with a terrific cast including the always-great Toni Collette, Jesse Plemons, David Thewlis, and Jessie Buckley ("Chernobyl"). — James
