The package was from the Troll community in Finland that they spoke about earlier in the film. It is therefore presumably an invitation for Tina to join them and finally be her real self.
Beautiful, beautiful film.
And then 'Lilya-4-ever'
And then 'Broken Circle Breakdown'
And then 'Head On'
And then 'Blue Valentine'
And then 'Vagabond'
And then 'Mouchette'
And then watch them all again.
Ah well. You can't win 'em all. I really liked Lean on Pete too. But The Rider just clicked with me - the setting, the harshness, the reality. All done perfectly.

But was Boyse's body one of the ones he put in a spacesuit and threw out the airlock? I'm not sure it was. I think he only discarded the bodies that had died on the ship.
Brilliantly put ^
Most of the bodies were kept by Monte in cryogenic freezer and then discarded by him.
You're right about the ending - they might even go on to become the heroes that they were sent out to be in the first place.
The sport on the tv is rugby not soccer but your point is still valid.
It's very much a cerebral take on the human condition. It's not a lineal look at EU space missions or anything like that.
I've already answered this in the comments:
Robocop - similar themes of lead character dying at the beginning and being revived to fight evil
Matrix - fight scenes with camera placement to try and add drama
Blade Runner - Corporations running a dystopian society in the future involving technology.
None of the themes were done well really.
Can't argue with any of that. It's near perfect. It slotted straight into my top 50 films of all time.
She knew her parents were awful parents that's why. She was far happier living with the ragtags because they had shown her far more love than her parents had throughout her life. It's a wonderful movie which I won't stop thinking about for weeks. 9/10 possible 10 out of 10.
Room was great, as was Roma. From last year I really recommend 'The Rider' and 'Thunder Road'. Both have family dynamic type plots.
I can't remember if there was a reason the father dug the hole. But the magical realism segments show Jonah slowly coming to terms with realising who he is - and flying out of the hole is an analogy for his sexual awakening and new lease of life. I loved it. One of my films of 2018.
Where he's standing at the window and goes to play with his brothers in the bedroom...then the camera pans round to reveal it's just a figment of his imagination. He knows he's different at this point. It's very powerful.
It's a stunning film.
That's well put. And I agree for the most part. But can you give any examples of films that have been shot digitally that look pretty bad in 4k? i.e. - you think would have looked better if they were made 20 or 30 years ago and reproduced? As Blade Runner was.
I watched 'The House of Sand and Fog' last week made in 2003 - a 1080p copy, and it looked really poor. I'm no expert on filming techniques but I found myself thinking I wish it had been made a decade later. Perhaps that era was when the industry was in that crucial state of flux with regards technology.
There's a place for both. That's why The Neon Demon and Blade Runner both look stunning in 4k.
No. I am male. Born in 1978. And both the daughter and father characters completely resonated with me.
Great to hear this. I was utterly moved too.......... The end scene and the scene by the fire. The connection between them was just so real.
You know what, I've had a think and I think you're right. I shouldn't have said "Avoid at all costs". People should watch it for themselves and judge it. I should have said something along the lines of I wish I HAD AVOIDED IT.
I'll take your word for it. I won't be watching Venom.
