Well done but...

Warning: Spoilers
Well acted, good production values, and a great portrait of loneliness and rejection in a marriage... until the ending, or lack there of. I rarely like a film without a thoughtful ending, happy or sad.. and this film is no exception. A woman is driven to murder, to cook up some poison stew, and then not know if she feeds it to her hubby and four kids, or the group of guys and gals having sex in the cemetery where she lives, makes the previous two hours of watching a Painful exercise for me... Come on writer, pick an ending and show it. I don't agree with a previous review saying it "doesn't matter" who she poisoned because her life is over either way. True, she did do herself in, but who she chose to take down with her, does matter. And the story separates great writing from a writer who got stuck in their own story and left viewers dangling too. For this I only gave 3 stars for what I think could have been a great movie if it had an ending,
