While I gave this film a decent rating I was also somewhat disappointed by it. As the great comedian Patrice O'Neal once said, sometimes the hardest part about watching a movie is trying to figure out how to watch it. For example, in the beginning of the film I had a hard time trying to figure out if this film was a character study or possibly a crime drama. It felt like the director was kind of hedging our collective bets by at times using a music bed that indicated that something... criminal?... was afoot. Without giving away anything, I felt like at different points in the film there were suggestions made to the viewer that ultimately turned out to be nothing. As the story unfolded (and the various suggestions dissipated) I became increasingly dissatisfied with the movie.

And that leaves us with the final scene. I get what the director was going for and it might have resonated more with the people of that region. It just didn't feel like that theme was a major part of the storyline. Couple that with what we were to infer about the resolutions between the three leads - the result was a dissatisfying ending.
