Pretty much, yeah. I mean in the motel she said 'yes', that she would come back, but we didn't see that happening, so it's rather open-ended. It's up to you, whether you want to imagine them getting back together or not.
I liked it how she inspired and pushed him to fight for his music and how, I think, he helped her open up, take down her walls and remember she deserves love. I want both of them to get their lives on track and have three, music-loving children, even if they're ugly.
Unfortunately, more realistic part of me thinks that Nora and Brennan could also still be toxic to each other, so it might just be better if they go their separate ways. So I guess this ending was perfect for me, because, well, you never know. For the most part of the movie I was thinking it was quite depressing, but in the end I realized the overall message was optimistic. If you listen to the lyrics of the 1st song, Nora, you'll hear that Brennan sings about how he can't go on. In the Dust Storm ( the song) he believes that once you pull through your crap, sort of inner and painful revolution, you can be alright. That's what they brought up in each other, and they both survived, so as individuals they'll be fine. And they'll forever remember their time together. It's a happy ending with a possibility of a reunion, which itself isn't the most important thing.
That's mine interpretation, I'd be glad to hear some others.
