It‘s nearly impossible to talk about I’m Thinking of Ending Things in depth without going into spoilers, yet at the same time, it’s best to go into this film as blind as possible for how unorthodox and unpredictable it is. Furthermore, Kaufman’s newest masterpiece might just be the most unique film that the streaming service has ever released. I’m Thinking of Ending Things is the kind of ambitious and idiosyncratic film that most studios would be too scared to produce. So it goes without saying that I was very much looking forward to I’m Thinking of Ending Things, which not only marks Kaufman’s third feature as a director, but also quite a few firsts for the auteur as well: 1) It’s Kaufman’s first film to be based on a fictional novel, 2) It’s Kaufman’s first time attempting to veer into psychological horror territory, and, last but not least, 3) It’s Kaufman’s first film to be a Netflix production.Īfter watching the movie, it makes perfect sense why Kaufman turned to Netflix to produce and release the film instead of a traditional theatrical distributor. Whether it be his screenwriting debut Being John Malkovich, Adaptation., his Oscar-winning work on Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, or his first two directorial efforts in Synecdoche, New York and Anomalisa, it’s easy to understand why many recognize Charlie Kaufman as one of the greatest and most creative voices in contemporary cinema. I’m Thinking of Ending Things is available to stream on Netflix beginning September 4.
