I'm surprised so many of you were satisfied with the 'non-Hollywood' ending.
As far as I can see, there was no ending or climax to the story which I found
infuriating. Acting was good but I wouldn't recommend it because it just
fizzled out. I have no objection to directors who want to break narrative
conventions but the dismal last ten minutes didn't work at all in my opinion.

I completely agree. Why spend all of the time developing the characters and plot only to never conclude them? It takes a bit of thought after the movie to decipher the point of the whole thing but even after you figure it out it is dissatisfying IMO.
