The last scene

Rating: 8/10 (17 May 2016)

I heard great things about the movie and was very interested in watching it. But when I was half through it - I thought: "Really, that's it?" Don't get me wrong - it was good, the acting is fabulous, but everything is a bit stereotypical and predictable when you know what the movie is about. I was disappointed that people would praise a movie that highly just because it dealt with emotional stress. Also the progression of Andrew from a normal, likable guy into an obsessed egocentric proceeded too quickly for my taste and even though he was drilled, it wasn't in a way it would justify such a drastic change in him. I just couldn't buy it fully.
But yeah, then this last scene came up. There aren't many movies that leave you barely enough entertained you don't shut them off and then surprise you with such an majestic, intense ending. And suddenly you realize that the whole story line builds up to this last scene. My whole body was literary shaking from the tension. The music, the pictures and then this last shot. Wow. My body still hasn't relaxed half an hour after I've seen the end. It is brave to write a movie like this and I think it has been rewarded with good reviews because of it's last scene. It was amazing and heartbreaking. You will think about this one.
