Did I somehow miss it or did they...[major spoilers]
Did I somehow miss it or did they NOT reveal the book's big twist: that Vern and Medora are brother and sister?
I know, Medora says early on that she can't remember a time before Vern, and the mask maker remarks that the two have similar coloring, but in the book it's flat-out stated that they're siblings, leaving readers with zero doubts that they are. I didn't fall asleep and miss something more overt than these two clues in the movie, did I?
How very squeamish of the director. And slightly baffling given that their kinship is the motivation Medora had for offing her "unnatural" child...sigh.
