Don't you guys think it's missing a 3rd act?
Specially to connect to murders of the first part. And to give it more meaning.
shareI don’t feel that way sorry. I'm not even fully sure what connection or meaning you are looking for.

By first part, do you mean the murdering of Dani’s parents? If so, the entire film has an undercurrent/theme of the said murders and the underlying trauma which Dani is unable to process until the end of the film. Not saying that her processing is that of a heathy one but that smile in the last scene is her being released from her inability to move past her trauma.
shareThat is a great interpretation.
shareIt's a comparison between the lack of social intimacy in modern Western culture and the family-like camaraderie of the remote Commune. While this paints the pagan cult in a positive light, it also shows its shortcomings, to say the least. After the shocking deaths of the two older members of the cult at the cliff, Christian -- being a cultural anthropology student -- tries to keep an open mind, pointing out the dubiousness of putting old people into nursing homes and pumping them full of meds 24/7.
