I'm Thinking of Ending Things is perhaps
the most "Charlie Kaufman" of all Charlie Kaufman films. Where else
would you find an agonizingly long, snow-swept road trip peppered with
internalized relationship issues, depressing poetry readings and
bizarrely lengthy diatribes about such disparate topics as A Woman
Under the Influence and "Baby, It's Cold Outside", capped off by the
main event, a family visit best described as "Franz Kafka's Meet the
Parents". And how does this all tie in with a certain Rodgers &
Hammerstein antagonist and an animated maggot-infested pig? Heck if I
know, I gave up trying to figure it out during the dream ballet.
