I help thinking something more interesting would happen at the end. Julie got flu at one point, she also kicked a random, debauched man out of her apartment (without explanation), so I guessed Anthony was bisexual as well as a needle-injecting drug addict. I thought the big shock at the end would be that the lovely, kind, ridiculously forgiving Julie, with everything going for her, had been given AIDS (the souvenir). Or, the end would be that the boyfriend had been arrested for reasons nothing to do with is drug use, but for planting a bomb for the IRA. Sadly though, nothing as interesting as this happened, but you get plenty of time during long scenes where nothing happens to think up you own story lines.
