Something surreal to give it that wink, to suck off the foam of the anti-climax that it is to me. It ends like it is Part One for godssakes...I would have ended with an exterior of the shack, with a wind slowly picking up from nowhere, building, building, blowing leaves against the building, the roaring of the wind is all you hear - and then CUT! Black screen, silence. Roll the credits...this is MY world, IMDb is just living in it.

you watched it too the other night on the telly
shareNo, the ending was perfect and a real ending. The Dardenne Brothers didn't leave Lorna alone. No anti-climax at all.
All kinds of possibilities battered my mind, and they didn't leave me for hours after the film. The first time I thought an 'open ending' really did fit, because it was a compassionate one. I didn't want just a happy solution, neither did I want Lorna to be murdered. It tore me up. Every other ending would not have satisfied me. So the film left it up to me,which was fine.
