It doesn't get any easier to review or understand or even think clearly about movies written by - better yet, written and directed by - Charlie Kaufman. The former include "Being John Malkovich," "Adaptation.", and "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind." In the latter camp is "Synecdoche, New York." But they're always a trip to watch.
Now Kaufman has directed and adapted a film based on the 2016 Iain Reid novel "I'm Thinking of Ending Things." Let's get right to that title: It's not about suicide; it's about a relationship, one that's only a few weeks old, between 30-somethings Jake (Jesse Plemons) and ... well, in the book, her name is never revealed, but in the film she's called, at different times, Lucy and Lucia and Louisa (Jessie Buckley).
