So who is Christopher's [SPOILER]


I thought Christopher was the son of Guiesspa, since Joanne couldn't have kids.

I know Dickie was told once you stop trying and worrying it will happen, but it seemed it happened over night.

I might need to rewatch the movie.

Christo-fuh definitely had her nose??

Yeah that was weird, bit of a Chekhov's gun.

Joanne, they did have a pretty fast 4-5 year time jump at one point. If Guiesspa (or somebody else) was the mother, everybody would have known Joanne wasn't the mother. I think they would have hinted at that at some point. Perhaps Dickie isn't his biological father. Or perhaps it is what they said it was, it just took time.

I was confused too. I also thought it was Dickie’s former step-mother and didn’t understand when it was his wife (who supposedly couldn’t have children) that was raising the baby.

reply

Yes, re watch it
