Definitely didn't ask it to be. If you read my actual comments I said I enjoyed it, and liked 99% of it. The OP was asking for opinions so I gave my own personal unique take on it. I'd also recommend the film. I go out of my way to watch and play things that challenge the aforementioned context I have. Thays why film and media is great, it gives us an opportunity to see and discuss different perspectives. Harsh truths are the best truths

Yeah I agree. I mean, don't get me wrong I understand that, at its heart it is a horror movie and therefor the ending is actually effective, but I suppose everyone brings to a film their own context and mine just left me siting there a little exasperated.

I struggle with my mental health. That said I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, its subtext and ideas right until the end. No matter what she did, how she tried to heal or what she put behind her, the curse still took her and in effect the curse was passed on to someone she cared for, essentially creating new trauma in someone else. The movie basically says you can't escape your trauma and it will have negative effects on those around you and that just left a sour taste. Otherwise it was great.

Michael Fassbender in Shame or perhaps Willem Dafoe in Antichrist. Some serious length there

Absolutely. The ending was perfect for its genre. The existential horror of no escape was very effective. Plus the way it ate her....wow
