Warning: Spoilers
*** SPOILER ALERT BIG TIME ***

It starts out with a girl Emma, watching her brother almost kill their mother. She rescues the mother and they take off out to the country (not really sure what country it is, seemed to be England but then seems more like Russia).

Then the brother tracks her down. I say her, because her mother was actually never there.

So let's zip right to the ending. Turns out her mother did indeed die in the woods. And it also turns out the brother died in the woods as well. This must've happened one of two ways. One, when he approached her after killing the mother, she stabbed him and left him for dead. The alternate explanation is Emma killed them both.

But if that's true, why are there scenes when the mother is looking for Emma on the bridge? If she's dead, she should only exist in Emma's imagination.

Well, that's all I have. It wasn't really confusing, just a great exploration of the psyche of someone who suffered trauma.

My rating of 5 is actually good in my book.
