Laughed twice during Young Mother. Once was a sneeze.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Young Mother?
Just got out of Young Mother and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

The cinematography in Young Mother is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Everyone praising the Young Mother performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Young Mother actually is?
Look, I wanted to love Young Mother. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.
