Did anyone else felt that the ending was incredibly rushed?


I was hooked by the story then the movie suddenly ended. Rushed is a wrong word to use, cut off is more like it.

(It's been a while since I saw this) But I remember that she was on the way to be a writer, but then her love interest dies (?) and moves to a wonderful country house. All this in span of 5 minutes or less. Then fade to black...


wtf!

Maybe Im misremembering.

I agree. . .I think the main problem with this movie was that it was too short in general and so it did not build a deep enough connection with the viewer.

You realize the sun doesn't go down, it's just an allusion of the world spinning round.

It seems like they cut out the whole romance and marriage to the country solicitor which should have occupied the last half of the movie.

Seems like it was their choice in Post to solely focus on the romance of Ewan MacGreggor and Beatrix Potter and pretend that the marriage and romance with the country solicitor never happened. Like on my DVD cover the picture is Ewan MacGregor without a mustache with Rene Zelewegger, when in the movie Ewan MacGregor always had a mustache.

Agreed. The first 75 minutes of this movie are so good that the last 15 minutes feel so clumsy and perfunctory. Chris Noonan has some explaining to do, given how perfectly he wrote and directed Babe.

The ending was perfect. If you found it rushed, you may be saying you enjoyed it so much, you wanted more. The ending did leave room for a sequel, detailing her later life and how she saved so much land for the National Trust. It was a beautiful movie, whichever way you look at it.
