ending.

SPOILERS

It looks like MC has met her parents, gone to school, gotten married, and had children.
Once a month she visits her other mom in the prison infirmary where she then poisons her to keep her sick they way she did to her.

Basically, I think she's lost it. They're still stuck in their loop, but the roles reversed.

reply

a month between pills would not work.

reply

They might if she gives her 4 at a time. She kinda seemed unable to talk.

reply

she would need to take the pills everyday.

Hmm, I guess you are right. But then again, maybe it was enough to paralyze her. It took a lot of time for Chloe to be able to use her legs and she had accumulated a lot of pills that she didn't swallow (don't know if it was a month while but it was many).

As for the talking — granted I'm not a neuro-surgeon — but we do not know the effects of that nasty fall in those high stairs. I'm thinking she might have hit her head pretty bad and suffer brain damage.

Now for an alternate, maybe more realistic, ending. She could also have been paralyzed that way (the fall in the stairs). I guess the writers thought the irony would be more spectacular if Chloe literally gave her "a taste of her own medicine".

I agree with you about the month between, but I do believe that is what is happening. She is giving her "poison" when she comes. Suspension of disbelief.

agree

No, it sure wouldn’t.
Neither does this ending.

reply

it was a weak ending.

reply

the ending is a lame joke. it doesn't make sense, because the mother could tell anyone that her "daughter" forces her to take these pills.

they could just have ended the movie with the mother being in a wheelchair anyway due to a paraplegia she got from falling down the stairs in the hospital...

reply

Maybe she couldn't tell anyone if she suffered severe motor brain injuries in the fall. I just looked it up and in the causes there is "falls" along with "car accidents", etc. And in the effects they do list, among other things, "difficulty in speaking clearly" and "memory problems".

So it's not unreasonable to think that even if she could still communicate in some way, maybe the pills in addition to brain damage due to injuries, were just enough to be sure she'd stay number and silent.

reply

Yeah a better ending would be her being paralyzed from being shot/falling down the stairs and in a wheelchair.

Also just because I want the daughter to be a better person rather than getting her revenge.

Another option would be the daughter pushing her down the stairs at the hospital. I was actually expecting that rather than her getting shot.
