What Critics Are Saying About "I'm Thinking of Ending Things"
- "I'm Thinking of Ending Things doesn't just dramatize this condition but embodies it through Kaufman's daringly divergent interpretation of lain Reid's source novel - the most idiosyncratic literary adaptation since Adaptation." - Adam Nayman, The Ringer
- "It's a masterwork of unhinged tone, as well as a showcase for Buckley, whose grand performance covers an expansive stretch of emotional terrain." - Nick Schager, Esquire Mazagine
- "It feels like both an act of self-parody for its director and also a radical departure from his previous work... it takes Kaufman's usual fixations and turns them inside out." - David Ehrlich, IndieWire
