It would have been a 10 if...

It would be a ten if not for the ending. Yes, I do get why they chose that ending, it doesn't mean I like it. Artistically it makes sense, but when I watch that kind of drama I don't want realism, I want you to sell me the dream. You give me great acting, heartwarming scenes, fluffy even, and then you leave me hanging. Nope.

I know all about open endings, and I can say with certainty that if I were 20, I would have rated this a 10. But not now. Now, I want my happy ending. Without any room for interpretation. So an 8 is what it gets.

That said, I want to reiterate that the actors did a great job, the whole vibe was great, and in my mind there is a happy ending.
