The Ending (Spoilers)


Did she leave him to die? I would say yes, except with the teen girl involved, I don't think that would happen.

I was more disappointed than curious at the end.

pretty sure she would have called the police

Ending, kind of a disappointment for me... seemed like rushed (esp. compared to the rest of the movie).

- How did the teen girl know where to run to on a basis of a single picture? Ok, maybe she recognized the girl.
- Why would the teenage girl run directly to his house?
Wouldn't a typical teenager (and for the teen girl character we aren't shown she has special skills or thinking process - only ordinary), first run to (a) school principal/staff (b) police (c) parents?
- How did they unlock the door? There's a box with passport and other stuff broken on concrete but I don't remember him putting the door key there.
- Since Teresa's character had SIM card taken, doesn't the teen girl, once found her, have one? And if so, why not call the police?
- Since the ending is so rushed, we couldn't figure out timelines when the teen girl came, box broken, and the door unlocked but it sure wasn't enough for them to get out of the building... You could put it into context and fill in the details for the ending to have sense but it's just too rushed.


Also, I respect thought-provoking endings (eg. did she go to the police) but in this case, we don't have enough material to work with. At one point we're shown she, either developing affection towards him or trying to gain his trust but filmmakers make this a dead-end alley. And next step is him trying to get rid of her, then her again trying to escape, and him again trying to replace her. And then, in the end, I'm left with a feeling, filmmakers were like 'ok, this has been dragging long enough, finish it'.

"How did they unlock the door? There's a box with passport and other stuff broken on concrete but I don't remember him putting the door key there."
He did put there as always.

By the way, I liked the ending a lot.

Yes, she did leave him to die and now she's finally free. But I wonder why she let him to keep her nude photos? Maybe it's his the only one good thing to have in his house.

I have the same questions; I'm confused as to what exactly happened at the end regarding the student girl gaining access to the apartment.
