Just curious why did you like I'm Thinking of Ending Things? I remember watching it and being super confused about the third act. Not that being confused is a bad thing but it didn't feel like a 2001: A Space Odyssey type confused, just disinterested and confused.
It’s nuanced and layered but it’s all right there from the beginning.
The old janitor guy is the narrator. Jessie Buckley plays a fictional girlfriend he is imagining a life with, when in reality he is contemplating suicide.
My favorite par of the film is if you pay close attention to Jessie Buckley’s character she changes name, occupation, and entire personality throughout to reflect Jake. - But even in his fantasy this girl doesn’t want to be there.
She opens with that beautiful Coming Home poem and had a paper to write, but then later on she’s a physicist or whatever and doesn’t read much, then in the car headed to the school she is literally just channeling old famous actresses and pseudo-intellectual quips (the movie review part is a a real thing said verbatim, I forget the details though sorry).
The whole musical bit was just him having spent his whole life watching students play Oklahoma but never getting to do so himself, so he imagined an awards ceremony for himself with everyone who ever ignored him.
Basically it’s a super bleak musing on loneliness, despair, self-pity, coping mechanism, etc… you can read a lot into it but plot wise story is really as simple as old guy freezes in parking lot and has sad death fantasy.
Him confronting her in the school was releasing her, realizing he is just the maggot infested pig that nature claims, alone.
With this in mind I LOVE that opening monologue even more if you view it from his perspective - I’m thinking of ending things is him deciding to end his life, not her with the relationship.
I want to add that there are countless eclectic, esoteric references to other films, poems, artworks, literature, songs and even the director's own previous works. All of which reinforce the themes and narrative of the film.
Well I have to re-watch it now because I definitely didn't watch it with the right mindset the first time around haha. Thank you for this awesome writeup!
Tenet, Dune, and a tossup between Tár and The Fabelmans. I barely saw anything in 2020. Still need to see The Father, Da 5 Bloods, I’m Thinking Of Ending Things, and Sound Of Metal. Haven’t saw much from this year that I’ve liked either.
According to my Letterboxd lists it would be
- I’m Thinking of Ending Things
- Nine Days
- After Yang
I’m happy with that. Haven’t seen many 2023 releases yet, but let’s go with Skinamarink for now haha.
It depends on how much you care about the story. The action sequences stand on their own but everything that happens is set up by the others. There also a ton of call backs and payoffs so it depends on how much you care about that type of stuff.
I’m not usually a fan of those kinds of superhero movies, but I just love the Shazam! movies.
Also, so far I’ve only watched 3 movies that were released this year so there isn’t much competition yet.
As much as I loved it, it isn’t even in my top 20 first-time watched movies this year.
going by listed years on lbxd
2020 - Some Kind of Heaven (honorable mention Riders of Justice)
2021 - Marcel The Shell (honorable mention Barb & Star)
2022 - EEAAO (honorable mention Banshees of Inisherin)
2023 - Have only seen 3 releases so Magic Mike's Last Dance lol, not a bad movie but definitely not going to be one of the year's best for me (3.5 stars)
I go back and forth between a few:
2020: Days / Minari
2021: C'mon C'mon / Petite Maman / The Worst Person in the World
2022: Decision to Leave / Aftersun / Nope
2023: Cocaine Bear
(Note: I've only seen two movies from this year so far)
I'm waiting and waiting for Red Post to get a physical release! It was going to come out last year but now it seems like it's completely silent from the company that was releasing it...
Sadly Fandor is not here in Sweden, but thanks for the heads up! With patience I'm sure it will released some day. I still have all of Sionos other films to watch though!
Very curious what you appreciated about Bloody Nose, Empty Pockets? It is one of the worst films of the 2020s for me. Not knocking you, honestly want to know what the hell I missed.
Thanks for asking. Mostly appeals to me because I'm a drinker and love to go to the bars, and it captures the vibes of a dive bar more authentically than any recent film I can recall. I've enjoyed what I read of Charles Bukowski, and the scuzzy elements of the film appeal to me as well (also why I loved *Trees Lounge*, which was no doubt an influence).
Its hangout structure appeals to me as well, but so do the conversations and the universal topics brought up between the patrons. Finally, its structure is what really elevated it for me, its mix of realism and fiction deftly blending the lines between film and documentary. Basically, I saw it as Charles Bukowski meets Abbas Kiarostami, which is a wholly unique approach to the subject.
Here's my full review for further details: [https://letterboxd.com/henrykrinkle808/film/bloody-nose-empty-pockets/](https://letterboxd.com/henrykrinkle808/film/bloody-nose-empty-pockets/)
Thanks for taking the time to reply! My brother also loved it, so I definitely think I wasn’t in the right mood to take in all it had to offer. That being said, I don’t think I’ll return to it any time soon, but never say never!
No problem man. 2020 was a terrible year for movies, for obvious reasons, and *Bloody* probably wouldn't even crack my top 5 of, say, just the previous year (2019 was a stellar year for movies imo). Are you a drinker, or enjoy dive bars? I think you have to enjoy both to be on the same wavelength as the film. But even if you are, its style is definitely not for everyone.
I also saw your choices for this topic, and you reminded me to check out *Another Round* (which sounds like it has *Bloody Nose* vibes) and *Dune*. Thought *The Fabelmans* was great too; gotta respect it as the most personal film of a Hollywood master. I was also *very* pleasantly surprised to see one of my favorite directors at the end.
This is just my preference for my favorite of the year:
2020 - Promising Young Woman
2021 - Dune
2022 - X
2023 - so far, I’ve had the most fun with Scream 6, so much so I’ve went twice. But there’s a long year left and I’m sure it won’t be for long.
2020 - I’m Thinking of Ending Things
2021 - Licorice Pizza
2022 - Everything Everywhere All at Once
2023 - Missing (I’ve only seen 5 movies from this year though)
2023 so far: Skinamarink
2022: Close, followed by Aftersun and The Whale
2021: C'mon C'mon, The Father, Titane
2020: The Painted Bird, A Sun, Sound of Metal
2020: Haven't seen enough 2020 movies, my favorie was... idk Sonic, the idea of that being my favorite 2020 movie is honestly depressing
2021: Spider-Man no Way Home
2022: The Batman
2023: John Wick 4
well, I guess I'm not going to be winning any points for having a cool opinion
• Psycho Goreman (2020)
• The French Dispatch (2021)
• Terrifier 2 or Banshees of Inisherin (2022)
• Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantumania (2023)
I’ve only seen Ant-Man and Scream in theaters this year and I really hated Scream.
2020 - **1#** Palm Springs
**2#** The Father (Runner-up)
2021- **1#** The Mitchells vs. the Machines
**2#** Bo Burnham: Inside (Runner-up)
2022 - **1#**Everything Everywhere All at Once
**2#** RRR (Runner-up)
2023 - Cocaine Bear (so far...)
2020: *Da Five Bloods*
2021: *The Last Duel* (Haven't seen *Drive My Car* yet, though. Have a feeling it's going to shoot past this)
2022: this was such an amazing year for movies, but I have to go with *Top Gun: Maverick* for me. We get awesome art stuff every year, but it's rare to get this type of film.
2023: I have not yet seen a single film released in 2023, weird. I've been traveling.
2020 - Soul
2021 - The Suicide Squad
2022 - Top Gun: Maverick
2023 - Only seen Ant Man: Quantumania so far, but I reckon it will be The Super Mario Bros. Movie or Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part 1.
2020 - Hamilton, if that's not counted, Taipei Suicide Story
2021 - Inu-Oh
2022 - Prima Facie, if that's not also counted hehe then EEAAO.
Sorry for recent releases I don't really like many feature films
2020: Saint Maud (or Sweat)
2021: The Humans
2022: Nope (or Everything Everywhere at Once)
I haven’t seen that many good things in 2023, but Skinamarink is up there. I don’t get scared by horror movies, but this freaked me out in a way that I’ve never experienced before.
For me it's:
2020 - Love and Monsters
2021 - The Harder They Fall
2022 - Everything Everywhere All At Once
2023 (so far) - Rye Lane
Some honourable mentions:
The Half of It (2020)
Da 5 Bloods (2020)
CODA (2021)
Dune (2021)
The Mitchells vs. The Machines (2021)
The Banshees of Inisherin (2022)
The Northman (2022)
2020 The Father
2021 Power of the Dog
2022 EEAAO
Haven’t had the chance to watch a single 2023 movie yet even though I’ve been to the cinema over 20 times already, still catching up with 2022.
- 2020 - another round (legit saw like 3 films from 2020 coz covid)
- 2021 - worst person in the world
- 2022 - aftersun
- 2023 - Pearl (I live in the U.K.)
- The Father (2020)
- The Last Duel (2021)
- Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022)
- (Haven't seen enough good content to even make a so far opinion) (2023)
* Blow the Man Down (2020) * Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy (2021) * Aftersun (2022)
Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy is so underrated! I’m glad to see someone mention it!
Hamaguchi really popped off in 2021
All three stories were bliss, each in their own unique ways. And that second story...my goodness. Had my mind reeling for days.
Second story was an absolute melter!
Love seeing praise for BTMD. That film was fantastic.
2020: First Cow 2021: Drive my Car 2022: Aftersun
The first cow is pretty great
kelly reichardt, queen!
2020: I'm Thinking of Ending Things 2021: Titane 2022: The Banshees of Inisherin 2023: Jackals & Fireflies
This guy Kaufmans
Adore Titane so much
Man I need to give it a chance
Buckle up.
My favorite for 2020 and 2021 as well, absolute all timers no doubt
Just curious why did you like I'm Thinking of Ending Things? I remember watching it and being super confused about the third act. Not that being confused is a bad thing but it didn't feel like a 2001: A Space Odyssey type confused, just disinterested and confused.
It’s nuanced and layered but it’s all right there from the beginning. The old janitor guy is the narrator. Jessie Buckley plays a fictional girlfriend he is imagining a life with, when in reality he is contemplating suicide. My favorite par of the film is if you pay close attention to Jessie Buckley’s character she changes name, occupation, and entire personality throughout to reflect Jake. - But even in his fantasy this girl doesn’t want to be there. She opens with that beautiful Coming Home poem and had a paper to write, but then later on she’s a physicist or whatever and doesn’t read much, then in the car headed to the school she is literally just channeling old famous actresses and pseudo-intellectual quips (the movie review part is a a real thing said verbatim, I forget the details though sorry). The whole musical bit was just him having spent his whole life watching students play Oklahoma but never getting to do so himself, so he imagined an awards ceremony for himself with everyone who ever ignored him. Basically it’s a super bleak musing on loneliness, despair, self-pity, coping mechanism, etc… you can read a lot into it but plot wise story is really as simple as old guy freezes in parking lot and has sad death fantasy. Him confronting her in the school was releasing her, realizing he is just the maggot infested pig that nature claims, alone. With this in mind I LOVE that opening monologue even more if you view it from his perspective - I’m thinking of ending things is him deciding to end his life, not her with the relationship.
I want to add that there are countless eclectic, esoteric references to other films, poems, artworks, literature, songs and even the director's own previous works. All of which reinforce the themes and narrative of the film.
Well I have to re-watch it now because I definitely didn't watch it with the right mindset the first time around haha. Thank you for this awesome writeup!
2020 - The Wolf of Snow Hollow 2021- The Worst Person in the World 2022 - Everything Everywhere All At Once 2023 - Rye Lane (thus far)
crazy i had to scroll so far to see eeaao on a list
Mid movie
2020 - Nomadland 2021 - Drive My Car 2022 - TÁR 2023 (as of right now) - Infinity Pool
2020: Palm Springs 2021: Licorice Pizza 2022: RRR
2020- Another Round 2021- The Green Knight 2022- Top Gun: Maverick 2023- Creed III (so far)

\- I'm Thinking of Ending Things (2020) \- The Worst Person in the World (2021) \- Bardo (2022)
This. This is THE list. So glad to see Bardo love
Tenet, Dune, and a tossup between Tár and The Fabelmans. I barely saw anything in 2020. Still need to see The Father, Da 5 Bloods, I’m Thinking Of Ending Things, and Sound Of Metal. Haven’t saw much from this year that I’ve liked either.
Tenet and Dune are easily the best of their years. I’d choose Banshees slightly above Fablemans and Tar tho
2020-I’m thinking of ending things 2021 Bo Burnham’s Inside 2022- RRR
2020- Pieces of a Woman 2021- Nine Days 2022- Everything Everywhere all at Once 2023- Creed 3 as of so far
Wasn't my choice, but Nine Days is a damn good movie that doesn't have nearly enough love.
According to my Letterboxd lists it would be - I’m Thinking of Ending Things - Nine Days - After Yang I’m happy with that. Haven’t seen many 2023 releases yet, but let’s go with Skinamarink for now haha.
2020: the Father 2021: Dune 2022: The Batman 2023: John Wick 4
2020 - The Father 2021 - Lamb 2022 - Everything Everywhere All At Once
2020: Sound of Metal 2021: Titane 2022: Everything Everywhere All at Once.
* Soul * The Suicide Squad * Everything Everywhere All At Once * Rye Lane
2020 - Shithouse 2021 - Worst Person in the World 2022 - Close 2023 - TBD
2020 - The Father 2021 - The Power of the Dog 2022 - Nope 2023 - John Wick 4
is John Wick 4 something I can watch without seeing the other 3?
It depends on how much you care about the story. The action sequences stand on their own but everything that happens is set up by the others. There also a ton of call backs and payoffs so it depends on how much you care about that type of stuff.
Wow! We're the same in 2020/2021 and Nope is top 5 for me in 2022, (Marcel the Shell #1). Congrats on your great taste in film!
2020 - Da 5 Bloods 2021 - Worst Person in the World 2022 - The Menu
It's always nice finding someone who ranks The Menu so highly
Perfect black comedy! Honestly surprised it’s not rated higher
2020 - The Father 2021 - The Mitchells vs The Machines 2022 - EEAAO 2023 - Knock at the Cabin (of the two i have seen)
2020 - Palm Springs 2021 - Pig 2022 - Aftersun 2023 - Knock at the Cabin (only seen three)
palm springs and pig were probably my second favorites each year. still need to see aftersun!
2020: Tenet 2021: Dune 2022: EEAAO 2023 so far: John Wick 4
Assuming JW4 lives up to the hype (which I'm sure for me it will) my list will be exactly the same
Banshees Worst Person Wolfwalkers
2020: Another Round 2021: Dune 2022: Top Gun: Maverick 2023: Creed 3 (Seeing Wick 4 on Saturday)
**2020:** Soul **2021:** Scream **2022:** Aftersun / Terrifier 2 **2023:** Scream VI / Shazam! Fury Of The Gods
Aftersun and Terrifier 2 are 2 films I never thought I would see next to each other.
They both feel like movies that were written specifically for me. They both instantly became two of my all-time favourite movies.
W for both Scream
You was cooking till I saw shazam
I’m not usually a fan of those kinds of superhero movies, but I just love the Shazam! movies. Also, so far I’ve only watched 3 movies that were released this year so there isn’t much competition yet. As much as I loved it, it isn’t even in my top 20 first-time watched movies this year.
going by listed years on lbxd 2020 - Some Kind of Heaven (honorable mention Riders of Justice) 2021 - Marcel The Shell (honorable mention Barb & Star) 2022 - EEAAO (honorable mention Banshees of Inisherin) 2023 - Have only seen 3 releases so Magic Mike's Last Dance lol, not a bad movie but definitely not going to be one of the year's best for me (3.5 stars)

I'm waiting and waiting for Red Post to get a physical release! It was going to come out last year but now it seems like it's completely silent from the company that was releasing it...
yeah, haven't heard anything new about the physical release either. seems to be streaming on Fandor though.
Sadly Fandor is not here in Sweden, but thanks for the heads up! With patience I'm sure it will released some day. I still have all of Sionos other films to watch though!
- 2020 - Horse Girl - 2021 - Censor - 2022 - X - 2023 - TBD
2020: Tenet 2021: Dune 2022: Babylon

2020 - Possessor 2021 - The Green Knight 2022 - Babylon 2023 (so far and i am expecting this to change) - Infinity Pool
My favorites, not necessarily the best- 2020: Onward 2021: Spider-Man: No Way Home 2022: The Batman 2023 (So Far): Haven’t seen any from 2023 lol
2020 - Nomadland, 2021 - Lamb, 2022 - Tár

Honestly probably banshees of inisherin

Wolfwalkers, Drive My Car, Shin Ultraman, Knock at the Cabin

2020: *Da Five Bloods* 2021: *The Last Duel* (Haven't seen *Drive My Car* yet, though.
