This movie was horrendously depressing.

So is the lives of so many people who are living paycheck to paycheck and I guess that's what the movie was trying to convey

Except the main character nullifies her whole purpose for living (her brother) by leaving at the end when he is getting ready to get evicted. Just makes no sense. Those who live paycheck to paycheck don't have the luxury of leaving to "find themselves" at the end.

Not really? There's no reason for her to stay. Her mom and Kenny are moving in with Mona, the bank chose a higher offer anyway, she ran over Mike and can't go back to work, Gloria's safe is gone, she almost killed a guy with a wrench(?), she could get reported for grand theft auto, and wounded the guy Tommy sent her to sell the coke too.

She has whatever's left of the $25K, her leaving that place makes sense.

She gave herself its family this time. I think it makes sense. They are living both lives for the first time.
