I'm Thinking of Ending Things

It stays, it sticks, it lingers.

2020135 min6.5 / 10

A philosophically dense, surreal psychological thriller that uses a deceptively simple road trip to excavate themes of mortality, identity, and the terror of existence itself.

Nothing is as it seems when a woman experiencing misgivings about her new boyfriend joins him on a road trip to meet his parents at their remote farm.
