I'm Thinking Of Ending Things - 7/10

Movie is about as far from what I was expecting as it could've been. I got too far behind so it's been weeks since I saw the trailer or thought about it and I was expecting an awkward comedy about a girl breaking up with a guy. Which I guess was true for about one car rides worth of content. And I loved that car ride, the main characters are just talking to each other for a good fifteen straight minutes and while it got close to that 'too awkward to be enjoyable' level for me it never crossed over the line.

I assume everyone is part of the one characters fantasy/dream built from a life of loneliness? Or maybe he dies at the end sitting in his truck and it's one long version of the 'life flashes before your eyes' idea, and at the end when he walks up on stage he's essentially getting his own, real lifetime achievement award since he's reached the end of it.

It also felt like the movie was designed as needing to be watched more than once to understand entirely what's going on, especially on the smaller scale side of things, which I didn't particularly enjoy. I kept seeing posters or books or movies, and all I could think of was that this probably means something but I'll be damned if I know what it is. Or when they stopped for ice cream and something was supposed to smell like varnish but it wasn't actually varnish. I thought maybe that was tied into him ending things in his truck and he was getting some kind of strange smell from the inside of the cab, armor all or something. I don't know, feels like a stretch.
