[QUOTE="AdmundfortGeographer, post: 1775249, member: 4682"] IMO, most professional paid reviewers are the types of twits who cannot fill in the blanks of genre movies. They need to be hit over the head with an info dump that lays it all out. The thing is with this movie (I mostly liked it, btw) was that the characters were in the dark about so much, and were themselves wondering why certain unexplainable things were going on. I liked this touch. One thing I did have a problem with though, was [SPOILER]that there was no closure with her husband. Not even a little bit. Myself, I would have been pleased if we saw the husband on the swingset with the hockey player dude.[/SPOILER] The movie left enough bits of info that a reasonably informed genre fan could put pieces together and come up with solutions to things left not fully explained. Thing is, I am starting to want movies to not explain everything, but to still leave it open that the facts could assembled with not much effort by the viewer in the viewer's own time.
