ITF Watch: I’m Thinking of Ending Things (2020 film)

Charlie Kaufman’s dreamlike adaptation of Iain Reid’s
psychological horror novel makes for intriguing viewing, using
the language of cinema to introduce a critique of our obsession
with both entertainment and outside validation into a story
already brimming with existential despair. In episode 153, Luke
& James do their best to interpret this impressionist work of
art.
