Too many loose ends?


Was Norah a lesbian? (despite her gratuitous sex scene)
Winston? Any chance of romance there?
Did they go to Disneyland for Oscar's birthday?

I liked all the actors (they were likable characters) and the story premise but the follow through was empty.

I'm going to guess no on Disneyland, considering they had his birthday party at whatever that pizza place was.

"Winston? Any chance of romance there? 50% chance "

If he had two arms, then it would have been 100 for sure.

Winston deserved at least a certain sexual act *mmmph*

a Hand job? Ahhh the wit is certainly dry with this one...

While I was hoping for something else, I glad that the filmmakers had the courage to leave the future open. Anything else would have seemed too false, especially for a film so grounded in social reality as this.

I felt there were a lot of loose ends as well... even with mac?? Liked the movie, the characters but the endinggg i don't know.

I didn't find any fault with the ending at all. Rose was motivated to enroll her child into the appropriate educational setting, thus; the biohazard cleaning service. In the end, Oscar was enrolled at what appeared to be a private or parochial school setting. Goal achieved, end of story.

It definitely ended abruptly. I watched it for the second time tonight, and I don't remember it ending like that. It's a fine line between an open-ended ending and no ending, and this movie I think sits precariously in the middle of the two. I get that it was probably the filmmakers' intention to leave it ambiguous, but too many characters just disappear without a conclusion (Mac, Lynn) and there wasn't a strong enough sense of the future for some of these characters at the end. Norah goes on a road trip, but why, and then what? I would have thought that if she stayed and helped Rose with the new business, she would have found a greater sense of purpose, and been able to strengthen her bond with her sister too. And I doubt Joe would have been able to help Rose with the business long...he's old, and it's hard work. I still love the movie a lot, I just wish it could have given us a little bit more closure without necessarily spoonfeeding us an ending.


You heart me? What is that? Is that like I love you for pussies?
