“The ending is just gutting. When I first saw it, I thought for a split second that the dream sequence of him buying the house and his father walking up the stairs was real, and I actually got annoyed because it didn’t feel realistic for a movie that had been so tonally on point the entire time. And then the sequence ended, and he looks in the camera and says ‘So long’ to his father, and you realize, OF COURSE it isn’t real because he’ll never earn enough to buy that house…and that horrible, pessimistic feeling of reality sinks in. Brutal and brilliant.”
