Life is weird and love is wonderful, right?
Or so we’d like to believe; for all of life’s dark and strange moments, there are those times when you’re with friends and family and that special someone when all the strange, unsettling stuff seems perfectly okay because you are loved.
But what if love itself turned on you and instead of making things better, things got screwily, wackily worse?
Then you’d be in the latest Charlie Kaufman film where love and life gang up on you, along with time, and you lose all sense of what’s up and what’s down, and what’s right and what’s wrong.
So basically 2020 then? Yep, this is the perfect film for this horrible upside down year.
I’m Thinking of Ending Things premieres on Netflix on 4 September.
