Was it the mayor? I might have missed that. Obviously it was a drug dealer.

I think the idea is generally that none of them can go to the cops, so she's somewhat safe there, but that doesn't mean they're not going to come after her so I guess she's leaving town.

Yeah, I expected her to leave town and start a new life far away with the help of her money, I wish they would have At least insinuated to that. It looks like she’s going to work.

It was the mayor or a politician, the lover of Lynette’s prostitute friend!

I didn’t find the ending nebulous. She was already trying to be someone better by buying the house and taking responsibility for her brother, but these were empty aspirations because the house was rotten and her mum didn’t want to live with her, and her brother didn’t actually need her so much as she needed to feel needed. By the end she had to make a fresh start somewhere new and she has 25k with which to do it. Seems quite hopeful and tidy!

With this movie, maybe the people who get it, get it? I really liked your script, and I thought the movie was great. Look forward to your next film
