8/10
Do not believe your eyes
31 January 2021
What kind of movie was that? I did not know what to expect and was more than convinced.

Much of the movie consists of dialogue. At first glance, these seem trivial, if not unnecessary. But if you let them work, they say so much about the characters.

The entire atmosphere is intense, dense and a hint of unease swings through the room. You notice relatively quickly that something is not right here. It's a pleasantly uncomfortable mood. This is reinforced by the ongoing snowstorm and the 4:3 format. These contribute to the feeling of being locked in.

There are scenes that trigger a really oppressive, lonely and cold feeling. With time, you lose track of time. The distinction between reality and dream become blurred. You feel like you're in a fever dream.

'I'm thinking of Ending Things' is a horror trip into the psyche. The movie lives from its dialogues and the atmosphere created. The plot and ending leave room for interpretation and make you think. The movie is not for everyone, I really liked it.
