I'm Thinking of Ending Things

A friend of mine totally tricked me into watching this by flattering my ego - said he didn't understand it and wanted me to watch it, as my film degree would helped. I'm easy to manipulate.

That said, very glad I watched it. Masterclass in unsettling editing and a fantastic depiction of how our minds work, particularly when we're at breaking point. Basically a film of hundreds of metaphors. I suspect the dinner scene in particular was filmed and edited in the same way as Willem Dafoe questioning Patrick Bateman in American Psycho - filmed with several different acting styles/motivations, then patchworked together.

I won't rewatch any time soon - takes it out of you, but I highly recommend.
