disappointed at the end

Rating: 6/10 (16 December 2006)

I recently purchased the Collector's Edition of this movie, mainly because of all the accolades and hype from other viewers. I can't remember if I ever saw the movie in its entirety before, but if I had, I had forgotten most of it. I have just finished watching the movie tonight, and while there certainly were a lot of good moments in the film, I was left feeling a little disappointed at the end. When the psychiatrist is discussing Norman's mental state(s), after he has confirmed that Norman killed Marion, Lila, her sister, just sits there listening, with no reaction, as if attending a lecture. This seemed so unreal, given her frantic hunt for her sister throughout the movie. Surely we would have expected some kind of reaction on learning her sister was, in fact, dead. Just my impressions.
