Basically, I spent 134 minutes watching a build-up to nothing.After watching I’m Thinking Of Ending Things movie I knew I was going to need to read the book to clarify the ending. Oh and the biggest difference is the movie doesn’t follow the twist in the book so there is nothing to reveal and blow your mind. ![]() There are suddenly two dances and then a musical… hello where is my thriller?

In the book, the tension is peaking because the female protagonist believes she is being stalked. Still, I thought it was fine… until we reached the school scene (the final 30 minutes). Plus, the couple was super annoying and making pop culture critiques (which does nothing for the creepiness), especially the female lead □ Sadly, the car scenes (aka most of the movie) were painful to watch because they didn’t keep what I thought were great quotes from the book. The Dairy Queen scene was also very on point. Toni Collette is AWESOME in her role!! Perhaps the only good thing about this movie.

There are three other significant scenes – in the farmhouse, at Dairy Queen and at the high school. Which added to the bleakness and creepiness. ![]() Surely no one who sees ‘I’m thinking of ending things’ (a phrase that is repeated a lot) actually thought she was referring to just the relationship.īecause of the book cover, what I visualised was the entire book taking place at night while the couple were in their car during a road trip. I’d actually thought someone was planning to kill someone, just that I couldn’t figure out if it’s the girlfriend or boyfriend that would be the killer.
