Like many of David Lynch’s movies, this movie also felt like what I saw, do I know what I saw?
Oh well, the girl is out with her boyfriend, will meet her family. But in his mind he wants to break the relationship, in the back voice over we can hear his mind, as if reading a novel.Sometimes even her boyfriend can hear her saying no. Is it a comedy or is there something else behind it? Anyway, the road trip of the two is going on the snowy road. I don't know what mystery is waiting at the boy's farm house. Any horror or psychological thriller ?! However, this genre is not easy to see or understand. Pay extra attention!
But this road trip doesn’t walk the familiar path, more mysterious, more twisted, just as vague as the relationship between the two. In conversation-based narratives I occasionally see an old man clearing a floor in a school corridor.
Who is this old man? Whose imagination is it, what does it mean to show the old man here if the girl's background? As a poet's companion, he will appreciate his poetry even if it is not another poet's. Then why does he want to break the relationship? This is why he is repeatedly muttering to himself. No more. In their long conversation, more famous poets and painters like David Walter Wallace, William Wordsworth, Cassavadi came up.
A poem called "Bonedog" is recited. Coming home is terribly lonely so that you think of the oppressive barometric pressure back where you have just come from with fondness because everything’s worse once you’re home. The loneliness of returning home, the regret of the end, the inner wailing, how depressing the repetition of this past life.
It will be impatient to try to think more about what is happening, what will happen, so keep watching and listen without trying to understand more. You can get a little relieved by the constant conversation between the two inside the car, you may want to see what is happening outside.
Like the 4: 3 aspect ratio of the movie, the director seems to want the attention of the audience, listen to what they have to say. Listen, don't think about the destination, the journey is real, try to enjoy the journey, maybe you won't understand much, the fun of not understanding this is when you finally understand, then you will feel floating, you will feel when you see someone's life.That life is repetitive, hopeless, unattainable, eternal ... This psychological thriller on paper, just for those who know how to appreciate the abstract art of cinema. Abstract painting does not try to show external reality, it wants to convey its existence through shape-structure-color-arrangement. All of this would seem difficult and incomprehensible if not familiar with the work of director Charlie Kaufman, as in the film - Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Adaptation, Synecdoche, New York. In his work there is always personal identity, self-realization, how much we are evolving inside and out.
Here, as in the name of Jesse Buckley's character, his career is changing - sometimes he's a poet, sometimes he's a painter, sometimes he's a physicist ... Taking it away may seem pointless at times. The name of the movie also hints of suicide. But is that really so?
The cinematography of the Polish gentleman in the movie Cold war, Ida, has a kind of indomitable, inflexible, cruelty, which is not only in the constant snowfall, but also in the house, the mutual emotion seems to be lost somewhere, just being a ritual ... Kaufman has skillfully used the four main actors. All four are great actors, with the edge of writing also creating an enjoyable psychological field.
While there is no characteristic state, everything is just changing, no one can be sure while watching, the interactions occurring from scene to scene are also unexpected. There is no one thing that can be crossed. The labyrinth between the real and the unreal, sometimes reminiscent, but part of whose memory, the girl or the boy? The boy's home? Are they really the boy's parents, or someone else, or ghosts?
Is something surreal happening? -Who is the original protagonist? Girl or boy? Im thinking of ending things just for the viewers of the challenging movie. The dazzling Philgood doesn’t matter. Even for fans of Charlie Kaufman it will sometimes feel self-indulgent. This is often done by the artists of Taitumbur with the confidence of being at the pinnacle of artistic quality. So here the personal opinion of the artist can come out in a sharp form.
The 1st viewing experience is confusing, confusing. Every look will change that, along with the reviews. Attitudes will change, as well as feelings. Although my personal feelings are positive, I will not claim to be 100% absorbed, because - Mindset. With a long conversation, not being able to feel oneness with any character other than Jesse Bakli, a lot of enjoyment in writing ... the longing to read the explanation before the end. These movies are not as enjoyable as they seem to be. I will still say - Jesse Bakli
Because even though Jesse Plemans is good at acting, I don't particularly like him.
Rotten tomatoes 64% positive among critics (8.6 / 10),
Normally 85% positive in viewers (3.5 / 5) My grading: A- # BEST_MOVIES_OF_2020
Seriously! The 1st viewing experience is confusing, confusing. Every look will change that, along with the reviews. Attitudes will change, as well as feelings. Although my personal feelings are positive, I will not claim to be 100% absorbed, because - Mindset.

These movies are not as enjoyable as they seem to be. I will still say - Jesse Bakli!!! I have done
