I'm Thinking of Ending Things (2020)
Desperate, Depressing, and Definitely Deserted
Every so often, you come across a movie that defies the normal standards of Hollywood in all the wrong ways. This is a movie that tries hard and dies hard. It is desperate to concoct complexity, but completely leaves you clueless. Whatever disillusions Jessie Buckley (unnamed woman) has in her grossly boring relationship with her boyfriend, leave the audience astonishingly disconcerted and outright disconnected from the movie.
Aside from the mundane, drawn out, gobbledygook of an alienating script, to accompany that is a never-ending drab background of 'Fargo'-esque blizzards in Nowhereville. The sound editing is outright horrible, along with notoriously dim lighting reminiscent of the 'Game of Thrones' disaster episode, "The Long Night".
This film is marred in weirdness, but fails to capture the essence of purpose (unlike, in the contrary, how David Lynch succeeds in this field). Beyond that, the film is brutally slow, painfully hard to watch, and gut wrenchingly boring. In the last 10 years of film-viewing, I haven't come across a film so unsatisfying, so devastatingly lame; failing to lead the audience on even the slightest of cookie-crumb trails towards underlying answers of "how" and "why" the movie takes the disjunct direction that it does.
For those that think they can read into this movie, you may actually be misreading it entirely. Simply put, there is nothing here than a failure to connect the estranged ideas that ensconce this film's empty shell. Avoid this movie at all costs.
Absurd Planet (2020)
Bring Back Attenborough
A cringeworthy narrator that belittles the integrity of the filming crew. A childish TV show lacking any substance.
