How I wish this movie had ended (*Spoilers*)


I liked this movie and interpreted it as being less about animal rights and more about a midlife crisis, or really more of a complete mental breakdown.
I like that even though Peggy was given a surprising chance at redemption (taken in by her brother, given back her job after stealing from the boss), she realized this was not the life she wanted or needed.
However, I was really hoping she would end up working at the farm animal sanctuary, or even better: open her own animal sanctuary. Maybe she could rescue dogs from the pound and start or work with a Cesar Milan-type program to rehabilitate them.

At the end of the movie we see her driving to some animal-abuse protest. But she cannot be protesting all the time, so she might very well end up working in some animal-related business.
