I'm Thinking of Ending Things (2020)

Everything in this film is a construction: the girlfriend, the drive, the parents, the farmhouse. All of it is memory being revised by someone who has already given up. The "young woman" keeps changing because she was never real. She's every version of a life the janitor never lived: the physicist, the poet, the painter. All the people he could have spoken to but didn't.

The old man watching the young couple through frosted glass. The parents aging and de-aging. The empty school. It amounts to one long, quiet accounting of what was lost by being too afraid. The title is not a metaphor. #Cinema
