In the closing scene, Joe finds himself fleeing with his partner beside him. She momentarily imagines herself pulling the trigger, but ultimately talks herself out of it: She yearns for explanations beforehand. She explains through a voice-over to emphasize her intentions, “How do I provide you with the ending you deserve?” This could be seen as a subtextual critique on the female-driven longing for “closure” at the end of an unhealthy relationship: the misconception that if questions are asked in a specific sequence, answers will magically appear. In reality, such closure is seldom, if ever, obtained, and insisting upon it or waiting for it may keep one bound to the relationship (mentally, if not physically). However, we’re led to hope for her success, even though she pursues her goal in an extremely ineffective manner. My apologies!
