Trapped at the farm during a snowstorm with Jake’s mother (Toni Collette) and father (David Thewlis), the young woman begins to question the nature of everything she knew or understood about her boyfriend, herself, and the world.

Absolutely FACT. It took me to the second viewing to appreciate it in this way.

" Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness and dies by chance " Mr. Kauffman is not the one who soothes us with beautiful things... He conveys his message through dark and gloomy situations humans find themselves in this world in a masterful way, which we find quite astounding. But amidst his cold and distant narrative the desiring viewers always find true love and genuine human sympathy. This movie is a masterpiece.

Jamie Dailey depending on age it just gets more somber and melancholic. For the ones in their 20-40s I can see it playing out as a horror movie for them especially. For the older ones, they start progressing towards senility and are prolly already done with pondering over the same questions repeatedly. They perhaps know everything’s a trap, there are no answers and one can live or survive anyhow. Ultimately nothing really matters.

I read about how Charlie was so frustrated after the cool reception to Anomalisa he was thinking about never doing another film. And his own brutally honest introduction to the Being John Malkovich screenplay book revealed a writer who wrestled with crushing depression even back in the 90s. Even when he was writing some of the best films of all time. As someone who knows depression myself, I can imagine that the idea of "ending things" might be something he's contemplated more than once. I'm glad you keep going, Charlie. You're brilliant and we love you.

[@danielrafferty4108]

Just finished watching the movie and I have to say I disagree. I'd say It's a cautionary tale about isolating yourself from others. That to be afraid of sharing your traumas and thoughts with others is to be ensnared by them in a vicious cycle until not even your wildest fantasies of what might be or what could have been aren't enough to keep that voice in your head going "I'm thinking about ending things.". The reason this movie seems to shine a light on the pathetic human existence and how insignificant everything seems is because we're seeing it from the perspective of someone who is slowly losing all hope and the will to live. There's a lot to unpack as to why he won't open up to others. Was it his disfunctional upbringing, was it some sort of behavorial or mental issue that left him feeling isolated and forever judged and ultimately jaded, was it something he did in his past he can't forgive himself for(or something he continues to do that he won't seek help for.) or was it the sum total of all of these things? When you want to live a fulfilling life with others but all you do is share it with figments of your imagination and live it vicariously through the words and actions of others (all the references to movies, musicals, poems, short stories, philosphy etc.) life is eventually going to seem very empty and bleak.
