Possibly an easy question.


I made the mistake of watching this while I was working and though I think I picked up quite a bit, the ending was confusing. Were we meant to know who the old woman was? Or was it just that she was some random and not his daughter at all?

I really liked the movie but I need to rewatch it and pay full attention lol.

The old woman is not random; she fleetingly appears throughout the film. Don't Look Now is one of those films you have to give your full undivided attention otherwise you will miss quite a lot.

Yeah, I get that she appears fleetingly, but I guess what I meant by "random" was that we don't really know who she is, motive or relation to anything? But yeah, I'm definitely going to rewatch it!! Very interesting and under-rated film!

Both coincidence that she resembled the daughter and also to boost the shock ending.

She was the serial killer. There was a scene where they pulled a body out of the water and a mention that there had been other victims which would mean at least tree before him. She probably lured the other people the same way, by making think she was a child in need of help.
