diane S Was this ending supposed to be clever or did they just run out of time before they could finish the story. The main thing on the audience's mind throughout and especially at the end is what will the reaction of his wife be if and when he shows up at the door. Which means this movie was a complete flop as it totally failed to provide that most important part of the story. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/21/25 Full Review Tonya L This is an incredibly myopic viewpoint into what it’s like to be a self-consumed, narcissistic, passively sadistic human being incapable of empathy. It’s incredibly boring to be inside that kind of mind for the length of an entire film. There was literally nothing redeeming or fascinating about Howard’s character. He lives in the garage for months and delights in his wife’s pain as he watches her navigate life after his “disappearance.” He literally laughs while she cries and says, “Here come the waterworks!” He waxes nostalgically about how he wooed his wife despite really only being interested in her out of competition with another man. He admits he only wanted to sleep with her if there was the excitement of jealousy added in, which was really just him being a controlling jerk. He only returns home when he realizes she is ready to move on and actually have a chance to be happy. It’s not just abhorrent, but abhorrent in the most boring of ways. The only positive I can see about this movie is that it reveals the sad truth of how some people think, but I’d rather not watch it for an entire movie.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/05/24 Full Review Just S Can't imagine any other actor pulling a role this big. Meaningful and thoughtful, the movie runs through it all. Especially liked the slowness of the movie, it drags you into his life, how slow and lonely it is. It makes you feel it all, and with such great ambient music, you do. Also liked the idea with the ending of the movie, how every viewer will have his/hers own ending. Truly a masterpiece.
