I'm Thinking of Ending Things 2020
Frustratingly self-indulgent, obnoxiously morose and immaturely nihilistic while having almost nothing interesting to say... or do... or show... Kaufman cements his position in cinema as the sad nerd who was one overdue Pauline Kael library book from shooting up his high school.

Very good for a first feature; I think Patterson’s will be a very fun career to follow.

Cristin Milioti is a really great actress though??
