I haven't read the book, so I can't offer an opinion on its content. It might present a different narrative. However, I found the film problematic, especially the ending. The issue isn't with the acting-which is quite good-or the production quality, but with the concept itself. (I've learned it's a remake, which is puzzling.) When did it become acceptable in a mainstream film to eliminate everyone in your path to claim someone else's child just because you lost your own, without any consequences?
At one point, I was genuinely intrigued by the film's ambiguous depiction of the mental states of the two mothers. However, it turned out to be a distasteful joke at the expense of the audience's empathy. It seems Anne Hathaway's character became unhinged for no discernible reason or internal conflict. This twist ruined the film's tone. The ending is disappointingly cheap and lacks artistry. It feels like a waste of time for everyone involved.
