ladybug2535 Review of Pilgrimage

Pilgrimage (II) (2017)

Excellent period piece...but most people seemed to have missed the point.

[8/10 · 18 December 2017]

I loved this movie, for all of the reasons others have praised it--and I don't feel the need to repeat the plot points or "all of those reasons" here. Yet almost everyone seems to have missed the point of the ending--and yes, there IS a point. It is NOT ambigious in the least. I won't give anything away here except will say that if you have paid attention--to the story, to the characters, to their motives, you will indeed "get it". No it doesn't give you "happily ever after" finite, "the end", but it does provide an end to the story they were telling--and the rest of what comes after isn't part of that story.
