See I’m Thinking of Ending Things

Another trip into Charlie Kaufman’s psyche.

Netflix.

Jessie Buckley plays a woman who’s considering breaking up with her boyfriend (Jesse Plemons) even as she drives with him through a blizzard to meet his parents for the first time. And then, because this is Charlie Kaufman’s latest film, reality starts to warp, time slips, and characters threaten to reveal themselves as existing only in other characters’ heads. Kaufman’s the king of

metafictional mindfuckery, but what holds his new feature together are the terrific performances, which maintain their emotional grounding even as the movie becomes more dreamlike.
