65: it was the end of times, it was the worst of times
Ostensibly a family dino sci-fi adventure, 65 is really about loss. Both Mills and Koa are trying to avoid their grief, Mills by distancing himself from this young girl after letting down his dead daughter, and Koa by holding on to the idea that her parents are alive and waiting for her at the top… 65: it was the end of times, it was the worst of times Read More
Class and the ending of Saltburn
Actually Saltburn will always endure, despite modern day Oliver stating “It’s the end of everything” as he reminisces about the morning Felix’s body is discovered. Whoever its owner, it will simply remain. See below for more on why Oliver turning out to be middle class is such a blow for the Cattons, and click down… Class and the ending of Saltburn Read More
The Boys In The Boat ending: down the last straight

Early doors or surviving jaws? Who dies and survives in Meg 2 — The Trench
Who sabotaged the rescue submarine? Has Haiqi-Meg got a boyfriend now? And is that prehistoric monster a squid or an octopus*? So many important questions.

The Bounty Hunter: how it ends
With a kiss, obviously! Through the bars of two NYPD holding cells. Very spoilery (my review is here).

Sam and Emma or Emma and Jesse? Actually everybody wins

The ending of John Wick (Chapter 4)
Extremely spoilery on the film’s ending, what it means and that end-credits scene. You have been warned, like a minor league hitman in the franchise wanting to make a name for himself.
