I think the lack of a rewarding ending is what that film is all about!
Hmm perhaps ‘rewarding’ wasn’t the right word. Satisfying is closer. I wasn’t looking for a ‘the baddie got caught and everyone lived happily ever after’ per se. I thought the pacing / editing was unsatisfying towards the end, I inferred studio meddling.
not having the movie explain itself in the end was the real reward.
The point of the film is that all the work was for naught
