I can see why people feel that this film had no satisfactory ending. While watching it, it felt like a storm was brewing - like you were watching a volcano of buried emotions and unspoken secrets that would eventually erupt, causing chaos and misery.
But nothing happened. No mysteries were revealed. No issues were resolved. Things just remained as they were.
And that was quite disappointing. Shouldn't we know the motives of these people and their secrets? Shouldn't we see the predator paying for their crime and the victim riding off into a new life?
But when you think about it, that's not what usually happens in the real world. Once you get stuck In life, you rarely get a chance to move on. And even if you get it, you don't always act on it. That's was the really depressing thing about this film - it was way too close to real life.
