A young woman is thinking of ending things, that much is clear. The rest of this movie is anything but.
As you’d guess, such thoughts make for an interesting visit to her boyfriend’s parents. Their discussions are poignant sometimes, bristling others.
It’s all so relatable. Then the visit becomes a journey, and the journey a descent. Personalities, timelines and daydreams spiral around us. Something’s not right, but everything feels real.
In the end, this exceptional movie does nothing other than to leave us feeling human: haunted, confused, deliriously hopeful.
