The film stars Jessie Buckley as an unnamed young woman who takes a road trip with her boyfriend (Jesse Plemons) to meet his family at a remote farm. Toni Collette plays the mother whereas David Thewlis plays the father. The family has an unusual dog that cannot stop shaking. The trailer is unnerving as the ‘Girlfriend’ finds bizarre events occurring with a childhood picture of her boyfriend that she feels is her and a cashier at a Dairy Queen that seems familiar, and other women tell her to stay away from the farm. She keeps thinking of ‘ending things’ with her boyfriend but unfortunately find themselves stranded because of a snowstorm.
I’m Thinking of Ending Things debuts on Netflix on September 4. Watch the trailer below:
