(Edited)

"There is no spoilers for the movie"

Today we have a psychological horror film mixed with drama from the novel by Canadian writer Ian Reed. In 2016, the genius Canadian writer wrote this novel for us, to be produced last September and produce a cinematic masterpiece.

In a film that deals with a quiet psychological drama far from the hustle and bustle of action, historical films and disturbing science fiction films, our film today revolves around psychological dialogues and natural instincts in humans, so as we progress in the film we discover something new inside the film and inside ourselves until you reach that you live inside you inside the movie so that you will find that you will decide what Will happen.

I am thinking about ending things. Our heroine today, Jesse Buckley, will try to end some relationships and principles, but in a different way, but where is the horror of that?
Was the movie really crushed by that hype?

This is what we will know and start with the story ....

The story

The story of the movie begins with a girl and her lover driving in a car in a snowstorm, then suddenly they stop the car and then start talking very normally.

They are on their way to his family's house to get to know him, but there is what happens, not in the calculations, Lucy finds herself facing a journey of change and not a normal journey.

After their arrival, the personality of her lover, Jake, becomes very clear, and here, Lucy finds herself facing a new challenge and different options.

From here begins the psychological conflicts in the film and long dialogues so that you will think that all this is just a fantasy, but the messenger will not let you focus too much, as it will exhaust your mind with the many dialogues and side events so that you will not find an opportunity to think.

Impression

If you do not like deep talkative films, I do not advise you to watch this movie because, for example, the dialogues may last up to 15 minutes, so if you do not have enough patience or if you do not enjoy this type of movies, you will feel bored quickly.

The movie is one of the artistic films that you feel is somewhat ambiguous and in the end it does not come out with useful content and you feel that you want to repeat the film and watch again, so the director in this film does not explain the events directly, and I mean here that the answer to the questions of what, why, where and when?
You will not find it in this movie. Rather, it allowed you to imagine and deduce events for yourself.

But if you like to watch these kinds of films, you need to focus a lot, because the fun of the movie is all of the dialogues that need a lot of focus because of its existential questions and deep psychological drama.

Characters

The characters in the film were not many, which was required for the film's calm and beauty, as the number of characters who appeared for the longest period on the screen did not exceed four people, but they had a great influence.
And they were able to play the role largely enough.

The characters were not marginalized, but rather they had distinguished previous roles, but if you saw them in their previous films, you will feel that you are seeing them for the first time, so the acting and artistic performance in this film is completely different.

They were also able to provide us with excellent dialogue scenes in a great way and they embodied for us the characters that they performed and experienced excellently.

Chief among those characters is Jesse Buckley, who played the role of Lucy and was able to provide us with the best possible performance required of her.

Directing

The film directed by Charlie Kaufman, who if we mention his name we mention the movie Anomalisa definitely managed to provide us with the best possible dialogues and the narration style in the film was very wonderful, which testifies to the director's imprint before the actors.

Although it provided us with a dialogue drama film, it created a state of excitement, depression and sadness at many times and helped by the colors and the wonderful soundtrack.

In the end, the movie is for a certain type of people who drink coffee with it and watch it in a subtle mood, so it is suitable for a certain moody time.

The movie is a 2020 productions from Netflix and is possible from anywhere.

My rating for the movie ........ (8.5 / 10)
