Ask Me Anything

Not the biggest fan of the end but a solid attempt of a coming of age movie. Having not read the original work this movie is based on, I can't make comparisons or alike but the movie felt shallow with the end here. You've got a great buildup that abruptly ends with the narration. The viewer is in for some guessing or making up own theories and that is fine but it doesn't feel satisfying to me after what we've seen.

Ambiguous endings… They're strange animals. One can come off as a stroke of genius; another, all but identical, can fall flat. And then there's the surprise twist ending. Same deal—you love one, hate another just like it, for no apparent reason. _Ask Me Anything_ has an ambiguous surprise-twist ending. It didn't work for me. I must have dropped this onto my watchlist after I watched the season of _Under the Dome_ where they wrote Britt Robertson out of the cast, but it was a nice surprise to find Christian Slater and Martin Sheen here too. Unfortunately, the cast was what I liked most about this film. Actually, the writing and characterization was…fine…until the aforementioned ending. Truly, I couldn't critique any of the actors' performances. All of their characters rang more or less true-to-life. But that ending felt like a genre bait-and-switch, and a pretty unforgivable one. Katie/Amy disappears _and_ the audience is left with no reasonable clues why? Please.
