Ask Me Anything Movie Ending Spoiler!
*Edit: Thanks everyone for their input in the comments. I think we have some answers!! 🙂 *
This post is for people who watched the movie called “Ask Me Anything”. I know it’s such a pity I have a post about it, but come on: such an amazing movie, made me feel and think! I have to write! I didn’t expect that.. As I think no one really expected it would be a romantic, dramatic, deep, so deep that I’m not even sure the therapist has understood her yet. Oh boy. I just finished and I searched online to find out what the ending really meant. Nothing out there really, so here I’m writing about the blogger and see if anyone has an idea about it.
Here’s what I think: she was looking for love. Because of the way she experienced with her neighbor when she was 6 years old, now whenever she gets sexual, she feels loved, which it kinda contradicts but the reason she stopped showering and give no care about her body is also what happened when she was 6 with the neighbor. So she’s damn confused. In the end, after the bookstore guy offered her to take care of the baby and regardless she can use his upstairs, she felt free and good and loved.. But when just we thought it’s the end, she was gone! The characters we were watching including herself, actually just like how she blogged about, but reality was different. WHERE DID SHE GO? Or what happened?
1. She got a phone call and left, never came back.
2. Detectives found all 3 guys, so means she didn’t ran away with any of them.
3. After her pregnancy she left a note to the guy who got engaged with the French woman: CALL ME, and she called him and said she’s thinking about abortion, etc, he hang up.. In the end, he told detective that he never knew she was pregnant.
4. She texted the married guy whose baby she was babysitting: We need to talk.
5. Also, remember, she sent a letter to the neighbor who abused her… as therapist suggested.
So what happened????? I just want to brainstorm! 🙂
maybe Joel?
At the end it says they talked to him and he felt bad about the last message he left her.
I don’t understand either… Was it just me, or did all the characters change in the end? When they showed the men and people the detectives interviewed they were played by different people then, right?!???!?
Tammy, yes, she wrote in her blog different characters, even described herself differently but the stories are true.. and she gone lost.. :/
She said in the beginning to her mom that she changed all the names in her blog so no one would be able to guess that she was the one writing it, so of course things were different at the end. It was supposed to be the unveiling of reality instead of her twisted, juvenile, naive point of view of her life. If you ask me, book store dude raped and killed her and went about his business.
Maybe she went to go see that guy in st. Jude’s after he tried comitting suicide she told some lady on the phone to call her if he can have visitors so maybe she went over there to see him ? I don’t know the ending really made me upset
Elisa, there is nothing dangerous with him though, right? Someone harmed her I guess, but who? Or did she run away?! Boo!
She did get a call that night so maybe it was the lady telling her Jude was allowed visitors so perhaps she went to see him and continued to run away??
The book store owner told her ours time to make get own decisions. Maybe that’s what she did. Went off in her own, cut ties with not only all the men but everyone?
Yea I think that is very close.. but did she really.. It’s up to our imagination then..
The bookstore owner is a rapist! He’s weird. Why would he offer to raise her child and for her to live with him? I find it weird because if he is really encouraging her to move out and make decisions on her own, then why move in with him where he lives close to where she lives? She walked home in the end. And, she wouldn’t technically be independent…
The bookstore owner is creepy. I don’t trust him. The way he offered to care for the baby and dump her other ‘boyfriends’ – even the young guy.
This movie fucked me up
In the book it mentions that in reality he does not even have a room above his garage and he claims he never offered her to live with him. He seemed much less creepy in the book
Oh very interesting!!!!!! Hmm… What else in the book that’s not in the movie? How does the book end?
It has been a while, but if I remember correctly, in the end the book was pretty much the same, except no room above garage and also the mom wrote something about either the car found or there was an unidentified body that could or could not gave been Katie’s. But as I said, it has been a while and I could be mistaken.
In the book there was also part where Martine recognized Katie because she found the picture Katie left in ine if Dan’s books.
Also her molestor was dead already but she did get a reply to her letter. Will say no more in case you will want to read the book:)
In the end, the mother says that he never offered to raise her baby.
obviously she just left and cut everyone off. If you watched the movie and payed attention to everything that was going on you would realize she didn’t leave because of the call. She left because if she didn’t leave life was going to go on without her. She said she needed to start over so, obviously she left and started a whole new life. This movie has a lot of meaning and I’m glad I was able to understand.
“approve”
I definitely didn’t get what you got out of watching the movie, and I don’t think many other viewers did either. I don’t think it is “obvious” that K/A ran off to start a whole new life. If anything that seems like the least likely option. She got a phone call, left, and disappeared. The evidence all points to the call and her disappearance being connected. And the entire theme of the movie points to the ending being negative in some way, whether she was murdered, abducted, or otherwise hurt, it is impossible to say..
what about joel though?
That and the fact that none of her money was touched. Nobody leaves to start a new life without funds. Especially pregnant.
So I just watched this movie for the first time. Although I liked the movie, the ending confused me. I know in the blog she changed certain details about everyone including herself. When it shows her real mother talking about what happened and showing all of the real people I noticed that Mark, her stepfather’s character, still looks the same.
i mean he had brown hair and a mustache…that’s about it
what if she faked her missing story posing as her mom, so she could finally stop blogging.
haha! so like we’re still watching her blog.. OMG! That’s brilliant!!!! and very possible.. Like twisted 2 ending…
That couldn’t have been how it happened though, what was the point in her changing names and people and places and tiny little details if she was just gonna reveal the truth in the end? It would make the entire movie pointless.
(Not saying I agree with this theory but to further it..) Or so she could have an entirely fresh start. Owning her delusions. Clearing the names of everyone involved with her blog so she could runaway or not runaway from those people but the blog itself.. Become the adult she wanted to finally be.
who says the ending was the truth?
yess! that’s what i was thinking? k/a would for SURE go out with a bang like that
my thoughts… she was finally getting herself in a good place. The job that made her the happiest was the bookstore. She had that back. She finally made a male connection that did not require sex, but in turn actual affection and caring. She finally had some hope. She was smiling in her bath… almost as though she was finally “clean”. I think that last call was another booty call. She knew at that point nothing would change. It was time for her to make her own decisions. That involved her racing away… and whether she was dead (by her hand or another’s) or alive and with baby… it was finally her decision, her control, her freedom from chaos.
Wow, that sounds pretty bad ass ending when you tell it like that 🙂
I find the ending brilliant! Everyone knows what it’s like reading a story! That’s what is happening all this time while watching the movie up to the end. In the end we find out that we are just another one of her blog readers who have imagined how her life is due to her blog! The reason we don’t know what happened to her is because this movie isn’t like the others showing you everything you want to know, its leaving you hanging because anyone who was reading her blog has no idea what happened to her because she stopped blogging and fell off the ends of the earth to us! We pictured all of these perfect beautiful people because that’s what we expect in a movie but in the end they’re all normal and all have problems of there own! To think of an ending like that is just genius and I give props the women who wrote the book and directed the movie!
FYI a man wrote the book and directed the movie
incorrect
You’ve got a point. The blog seems to lighten up the situation. In fact it almost glamorizes it. Then it does a quick reality check. The truth behind the blog. It could be as a warning. It brings a shock value to those who watch. That there are consequences and they are real. The ending is meant to strike fear to the audience. The reality is this destructive life doesn’t end well. Just like the movie.
spot on..a genius ending and a genius way of understanding the film. Thank you…
I think that one of the guys killed her. Maybe she did tell them about the pregnancy and they felt threatened. Anyone could have lied to the PI.
Just watched movie. I think it sets up very well for a sequel. Perhaps she just went off on her own and had the child. She seemed alone and had that feeling of loneliness I don’t think she is dead. I do hope there is a sequel to explain what happened to her or where she ended up.
There is a sequel. It has been filmed already and it’s called “Another Girl”.
In my opinion, the ending – and more or less the entire movie – emphasizes the dangers of posting your life online. Now, I’m aware of the fact that she used a different name but in actuality, nothing is private. I think one of her readers who was very angry at her decisions, maybe a loner who read her blog and got angry about her promiscuous behavior somehow found her and swayed her into coming with him. Another hunch is that it could’ve been the man that touched her when she was little, seeing as to how she had recently written him a letter, and how older men make her feel good about herself, I believe if he contacted her she may have thought that it was meant to be, it’s “been him from the start” type of mindset. Also, since the bookstore owner told her she didn’t need her mothers permission, she’s an adult now, its highly likely she took his words to the extreme and didn’t feel the need to tell her mother where she was going. Now, whether she went with the anonymous stranger who knew her based on her blog, or the older man that raped her when she was younger, it’s clear she took her bosses words to heart and never looked back.
This movie was shit. Well, let me rephrase that. This movie ending was shit.
I’m so pissed off at this ending. How could the plot just fucking swerve into the fucking abyss.
There were so many endings that would have been so much better than that.
Tbh i wanted her to have the baby, live with the book store owner and see him as a fatherly figure after some time. Would have been so much better than her running away or being kidnapped or whatever the fuck happened to her. This movie wasn’t meant to have a cliff hanger… fuck this shit.
Someone email me a better ending that makes sense and makes me happy again.

Mason, check out the comment above from Bezoris!! 🙂
The bookstore owner is a rapist! How do you know if he can actually be trusted? haha. He’s weird. Why would he offer to raise her child and for her to live with him? I find it weird because if he is really encouraging her to move out and make decisions on her own, then why move in with him where he lives close to where she lives? She walked home in the end. And, she wouldn’t technically be independent…
I enjoyed the movie as well and the ending caused me to rethink everything that came beforehand.
I have two theories about the ending; one is a ‘who done it’ explanation, the second, more circuitous, is my preferred interpretation (and, I believe, supported by evidence that was intentional on the the part of the author).
First off, the ending annoyed many critics and viewers, along with large number of those who read the source novel, ‘Undiscovered Gyrl’ – the author of which also wrote and directed this movie. (BTW, though typically a female name, Allison Burnett is actually a man.) (Another side note, since I think someone mentioned being annoyed by Katie’s typos: in the novel it’s made clear that she makes frequent grammatical errors because she’s usually drunk while blogging.)
That being said, the ending is a crucial structural component of the narrative (more on that later); without it, the movie/novel wouldn’t really make sense. Katie/Amy says early on that names and events have been changed… And this is exactly what happens, and what the ending reveals: we have been ‘reading’/watching her blog. Names were changed, Katie is really ‘Amy Grantham,’ Dan doesn’t teach film, but owns a video store, etc. (This is a crucial point to remember when I get to my second theory.)
Theory #1 – Who Done It?
Allison has been pretty outspoken about the fact that his book (and film) was written as a cautionary tale directed at young women. Cautionary about what? Several things in all likelihood: promiscuity, exposing yourself online, drinking.
With that in mind, one obvious interpretation of the ending is that something bad happens to Katie… probably at the hands of someone she knows. Remember, right before she gets the phone call and goes missing there’s a quick cut to her phone as she’s leaving the bookstore – ‘I NEED TO SPEAK TO YOU.’
Therefore, it’s not some random blog reader (because she has this person’s number) and it’s not Martin Sheen’s character (because she wouldn’t be texting him about getting together when he’s standing RIGHT BEHIND HER). So who is Katie texting? And why?
My money is on Christian Slater’s character. It could be Dan, but I don’t think so, for several reasons. One, remember – apart from the prank call and the last hookup – that Katie never texts/calls Dan. More importantly, after the twist, Slater’s character is the only person who denies sleeping with Katie… Everyone else – though they have different names, jobs – confirms that her version of events is ‘essentially accurate.’ And he has the most to lose – a wife, a child. Remember also that he tore up her note about just laying next to each other, apart… that is, he immediately destroys the ‘thought’ of some sort of relationship, even at a distance! (Much less a complicated biological one.)
Which brings us to the ‘why’ of the text that leads to the call, that leads to her disappearance. I think, in a way, Sheen’s character is meant to be a proxy for the neighbor who molested her when she was a child. He, too, is an older man, about the same age as her molester would be now, who had violently sexually assaulted a prostitute many years ago (in the novel, Katie’s promiscuity is much more explicit; prostitute/promiscuity… it’s a reach, but I think the connection is intended).
Her therapist tells Katie she’s not depressed. She’s grieving. For what? For whom? For herself, I think… she’s stuck in what Sam Beckett would call ‘a mind kang’ (Krapp’s Last Tape) – unable to move past a traumatic event. When she hesitates and then, finally, moves in to hug Sheen in the bookstore driveway she’s making peace with her past and herself and is able to move forward. To live.
(Side note: I’m not sure, but fairly certain, that this is explicitly the only conversation Katie has with anyone, ever, that is entirely truthful. She doesn’t lie, bend the truth. She doesn’t make anything up or deflect. Believe this is meant to indicate her genuine desire to change and ‘move on.’)
Which is why she sends the text. She has made some sort of decision (to keep the baby?) and decides to tell the father. A final small note here: I say she’s ‘probably’ decided to keep the baby because, if we follow this interpretation (that she then disappears and comes to harm) telling Slater she was getting an abortion would be more likely to evoke relief, not provoke violence.
But I don’t think that this is what happens and I’ll tell you why.
Theory #2 (My preferred, and I believe intended, interpretation):
Remember the early point about everything being somewhat fictionalized, all names being changed? Well, it’s true! Everything HAS been changed.
In the ‘post’ narrative we learn that Katie’s ‘real’ name is ‘Amy Grantham.’ Is it though? When Katie bumps in to the fiance at Dan’s house, requesting an extension on ‘her paper,’ what name does she use? Amy Grantham.
If we believe Katie when she says that ALL names have been changed, then that would have to apply to Amy as well since ‘Amy’ pops up both in the Katie narrative and post-twist.
But this interpretation is also forecast by another earlier event. (You’ll have to ‘go’ with me a little bit on this one, but I believe it was intended by the author.)
Earlier, when Katie decides to discontinue therapy, she impersonates her mother and sends an email to her therapist. What do you do in therapy? You speak your thoughts, tell your secrets, try to move past traumatic events and learn how to be functional, to live. What do you do when you blog (or what is Allison suggesting we do?): you write your thoughts, secrets, personal issues, etc. We have become viewers, ‘readers,’ of her blog, but also – in a sense – Katie/Amy’s ‘therapist.’
K/A says that she has to let the blog go in order to get on with her life. So what does this ending mean? Nothing dramatic… simply that ‘Katie/Amy’ again ‘forged’ a post from her mother to her therapeutic audience that finally ends the blog.
She has decided to move on, to live, and remains an enigma. Unknown. An Undiscovered Gyrl.
– Chris.
PS. One last side note, since I can’t resist: If Allison intends this to be a cautionary tale about online activity, the second interpretation ‘could’ be seen as an indictment of online activity (something he seems very interested in discussing). That is: “Don’t believe everything you read online!” (I.e., “Don’t believe anything you just saw!”) Perhaps Katie/Amy, the ultimate unreliable narrator, is entirely a fiction? This is a very ‘meta’ interpretation, but I wouldn’t put it past him.
Brilliantly put!
“Approve”
Oh wow!!!! Thank you Bezoris!! I love the movie, and I loved your second theory a lot, it makes sense… “unreliable” narrator is very accurate to say about her.
Thanks.
I really enjoyed the movie after I sat with it for a day for so. (Think there’s a lot more going on than at first glance.)
Edit: I’ve heard theories about why this didn’t do very well in theaters… Most having to do with weak marketing and other reasons why Britt backed out of press coverage.
My suspicion is that Disney–having just cast Britt in Tomorrowland with George Clooney–didn’t want her doing press about a film where she plays a complicated young woman sleeping with older guys. Also, (this is kind of a TMZ thing) apparently her current boyfriend was jealous about her love scenes (they’re all friends, but from what I hear, it’s complicated).
Oh my… now that’s very interesting.. I’m surprised there are politics like that in movies, and why she accepted in the first place, if she was going to run away from press about the movie.. Maybe she really liked the role, and wanted to play..?
Also, I think this movie is not a good theater movie.. it’s more like a watch at home type of movie that will be endless with time..
Her boyfriend is Stiles from Teen Wolf. I find that to be a stretch.
Stiles in Teen Wolf is portrayed by Dylan Obrien. In this movie, her boyfriend, Rory, is portrayed by Max Carver who plays Aiden (one of the wolf twins) in Teen Wolf.
About your second theory, that’s what I thought too when the end scene first started but what people seem to be forgetting is that her mother said she would continue to post on there in order to help find her daughter. If Katie was pretending to be her mother in order to end the blog then why would she continue to post? Other than that one detail it would make a lot of since for your second theory to be true because there wasn’t really a point in the scene where she originally pretends to be her mother to get out of therapy. If anything you would think that part was only in there to make others realize that she was the one writing in the blog at the end of the film. She did it once, she would do it again. But the fact that her mother/or she writes that she would continue blogging on there is the only thing that confuses me with that theory. If it truly was her mother writing though and someone really did hurt her, like you, my money is on Christian Slaters character, Paul because of the reasons you just mentioned. The fact that he ripped up the card she wrote him showed that he definitely didn’t want to get caught. She may have blocked his number after talking to the book store owner in order to, like he said, cut ties with everyone. Then after receiving her text about needing to talk, he called her and when she told him she was pregnant he might have freaked out, asked her to meet him and then killed her in order to save his own ass. It is also possible that she might have ran away from everyone but for some reason I find that to be a stretch. I mean, Katie seemed to have a close relationship with her mother. She told her things, anyway. I understand why she would leave everyone else in the movie without saying goodbye but why her mother? And why wouldn’t she take out any money? She’s sure to need some for gas and what not and of course a new place to live. She may have thrown out her cell phone but still, why torture her mother by disappearing without a trace? I don’t know. I know it’s just a movie (and a book- I have yet to read it) but the ending really bothered me. I’d give anything to speak with Allison and force what really happened out of him. He must know. I’m a writer myself and you don’t just write an ending like that without knowing what happens next. Unless of course he just wanted a shocking ending and came up with that on the spot which I doubt. Anyway, I really liked your theories. I just wish I knew the truth.
Maybe Allison Burnett made it to be a precautionary tale for young promiscuous women. And the ending is what you, yourself, make of it. Be careful and write your own ending. Just a thought
I really liked your comment and I as well agree with most of bezoris theories . I am also a writer ….nothing published yet though . My only issue with bezoris comment before his first theory is typed he mentions the session of Amy /Katie with the therapist and says Amy/ Katie is not depressed but grieving . “For what ? For who ?….bezoris took such an interest in this story to have his own theories about it but then lightly skips over the death of her father that lead to her therapy sessions to begin with . I really would like to know from Allison myself more about this story of Amy Granthum ; I really like “who done it’s” they really get to me ….in a good way!
I’m sorry, I just saw this movie moments ago and omg was that a kick in the gut ending! I luved it! So dang different and unexpected!
My one problem with your comment LeLou is that the dad’s death isn’t what led to the therapy, it was when the friend had her open up to the molestation.
Since the father’s death happened before the discussion about being molested by the neighbor and then the therapist was brought up . It was a sequence of events that led up to the therapy and she did talk about her fathers death in therapy before bringing up being molested .
That’s perfect! Now I’m no longer confused! Thank you so much!
About your first theory, if you pay attention to the scene where she writes the ‘We need to talk’ text, Christian Slater’s character name is on the screen, so for me it’s obvious she was writing to him following Martin Shees advice of not seeing any of her love affairs again. She would probably quit her job as a nanny and ‘dump’ him. Am I wrong? I must confess the end of the movie freaked me out a bit and left me without an immediate reaction. I tend to think something bad happens to her at the end as it becomes her real life and not the blog anymore. Thoughts?
I agree.
Having since read the book (after seeing the movie) I think it’s pretty clear that Allison means the ending to be deliberately ambiguous. An indictment of promiscuity and “over-sharing” online. Maybe she’s dead. Maybe she was an entirely [meta]fictional creation. It’s not narratively satisfying, necessarily, but I think it’s what he intended…
Follow-up comment to Nesli: Britt has since spoken out about being molested as a teen by a family friend while studying ballet in Paris. It seems entirely reasonable that she would decline publicity on a film that possibly hits a bit too close to home.
It’s been a year but you might reply ….Lol . In the ending of this movie Alana your theory could happen ; although if that were the case she would need money from her account to move , buy a new phone , or even get a place to live but it is mentioned that her bank account hasn’t been touched . I get you want her to be alright and not harmed I want her to be alright , have her baby , and be happy . In texting to “Paul” however , I believe she left her home after he called her from a blocked number to go out of his way to avoid suspicion (being him a married man and all) when he met up with her and she told Paul she was pregnant he either panicked and in shock killed her or was enraged that she was going to keep it . If she was going to decide to not keep the baby she probably would have been back home that night . It’s just a guess .
She was paid in cash so she would of had money it never showed he spending much of it so she may of had quite a bit saved up
I completely agree with you Alana, I freaked out with the ending my heart stared raising and I was trying to remember if I had missed the ‘based on a true story’ note!
I just saw this movie and realized as I read your message that we never actually see her have sex with Christian Slater’s character. I remember when we only saw feet and I thought it was weird since they we’re so explicit with all the other sex scenes. So whether they actually slept together is even more ambiguous.
The old double bluff!I like the idea that k/a was putting a fictitious final capstone on her blog as a way of growing up or moving on.Its ingenious but sadly I saw the ending as more a more prosaic online fantasy versus stark reality message.Notice how all the ,”real” characters at the end were less successful, good-looking, intelligent and charming than the blog versions.the movies message for me was a warning against constant comparison with fictionalized representations of self found in media versus a private cultivation of genuine selfhood.
Selfhood versus selfies !
An interesting film in any case.Also noteworthy : the weak parents,some hidden truama underneath the pat and almost comical neighbor molestation story,an inkling that modern media makes us all mad in a way.
I agree, if I’ll tell you about my life it will sound a lot more exciting then what it really is. Some times i do it on purpose so my life will sound and then maybe become a lot more exciting.
I love the feeling when i tell someone something and they say wow! you sort of get high from it and then you want to feel that way again… its like what they say in the film “we all want to get famous even though we’r not good at anything” and i get that admiration feeling when i look at my friend’s life coz she just moved in with her boyfriend, to me thats WOW but to her its just… well life. we all have this obsession with impressing other ppl, thats why we post things on facebook and twitter so we could impress ppl and get they’re approval of our lives.
Does anyone answer recent posts of comments a first person that are two years old ?? ….it’s possible . I read your entire post and I have to agree with most of your comment . My only thing is this ; when you mentioned after your first theory ….that Amy/ Katie was in a session with her therapist about the conversation of being depressed . You typed that her therapist told her she was not depressed she was grieving For what ? For whom ? It was not about her at all . She went to therapy after she had a break down over her father’s death . I was surprised after the care you took to write your own theories on this movie that you would lightly skip over a deeply moving event in the main characters life ….if she is fictional or not the death of her dad was brutal on her . I think pretty much the rest of your comment “hit the nail on the head” so to speak .
Hahah I just found out about this movie even after it being out for two years.. but i was really curious also a bit confused about the ending and well I ended up here, lol. And to answer your question yup I read this so to speak “blog” of the recent comments. Anyway my thoughts on the ending are simply this;
I believe that Amy/ Katie was traumatized by what her neighbor did to her when she was 6. Which caused her to possibly be a sex addict. (At least I thought so) Her fathers death broke her, sure. But it might have made her realize that life is too short to dwell on things that are in the past. Not saying that’s the case it’s just a thought. Also I believe Paul was the one who called her. Like most people said; he’s the one with so much to lose. I don’t believe he killed her cause there’s always that one possibility that he could get caught and lose more then just his wife and kid. I believe she told him there’s a HUGE possibility that the child isn’t his, and that he wouldn’t have to find out and they could just forget that anything ever happened between them. Now if you remember her ex best friend staying outside getting yelled at by some guy. Well they looked at each other like something was going on. My theory is that Amy/ Katie might have gotten her ex best friend out of a bad situation since she looked pretty messed up and was getting yelled at by “some guy” they could’ve totally ditched everything and everyone. Ran off to live a life without fear. To me this makes sense since Amy/ Katie’s accout hadn’t had any money taken from it. She could’ve gotten a job avoiding any trace to her. Or they used jades (her ex best friend) account and money. It makes sense if you think about it. But then again I could be completely wrong and Allison (the author) could’ve just left it to be a “chose the ending for yourself” kind of ending. Or it could’ve all be fabricated, and Amy/ katie could of been the one pretending to be her mother writing on her blog. But see I don’t really believe that because why in the movie would it show different people, the real people to this story? I too would love to meet him and just ask him, “ why that ending? What inspired it?” Well. That’s it I guess. Lol. Oh wait nope haha just thought of something. I heard there’s a part two to undiscovered gyrl? Called another girl? Is this true?
Maybe Paul gave her money to go start a new life with her child ? They weren’t short of cash and maybe he felt guilty, i.e. It could be his child and didn’t want to mess up his marriage either
I can see why you would say that, but it doesn’t make sense to me because if you remember he had ripped the paper right in front of Amy, I think he knew that “relationship” was going no where anyway.
True but could still feel guilty
He didn’t know she was pregnant then if I remember correctly
Possibly.. I guess we’ll never know
Sad but true! 🙂 maybe it is a more sinister reason but we can hope !
I wish I wasn’t posting some two years later, as I probably won’t get a response… Oh well, did anyone else notice that the trashy looking girl and A/K were looking at each other almost having a moment… bit strange… Anyway, is it just me, or does the trashy girl getting abused outside the corner store look EXACTLY like the photograph of Amy? This film was entirely confusing and I was left with zero closure lol.
I think the “trashy girl” you’re referring to was her ex best friend
The trashy girl outside the corner store was her best friends counterpart.
she doesn’t use the name Amy GRANTHAM when she asks for an extension, she uses Amy GRAHM
I’m going to go with theory #1
But I did want to put this out there. Maybe in real life Amy told the Fiancé that her name was Katie.. so in the blog she just switched that around. Just a thought
Except for one thing…… the book store guy never said he’d raise her baby, so yes, every story had a slight difference from the truth.
because it was years later so they were older
it wasn’t years later I’m fairly certain it was shortly after her disappearnace and the characters were just more realistic looking–not older
what i don’t understand is that we saw her boss say that he would take care of the baby if she wanted him to and then at the end it says he never did say that, but we literally saw him say it…?
i think she is alive, other wise how could you explain the little boy on the playing field. it could have been like a flash forward.
I think she had a mental disorder. Many people not only said those things didn’t happen, but that they didn’t know her AT ALL. Her parents said it was unlike her and that she wasn’t just out running around constantly. There is no baby. There is no old man at the bookstore. She made it up for attention, again because she has psychological issues. The only thing I think could be real is when she remembers she was sexually abused. But who really knows eh. Wish I did.
The last thing she talked about was do people really envision a whole new life for themselves and really live it out, or do they just fall back into the same behavior? (I’m aware that’s not verbatim, but that was the jist). So it is my understanding that she envisioned a new life for herself and carried it out, or tried to anyway. I believe it’s up to our own opinions of her character as to what lifestyle that may be.
Maybe I’m just morbid or maybe I’ve been through too much too fast but what I thought the ending was saying was that she was so dumb and nieve as she was for most of the movie that she had a sex offender convince her to move in with him…her last thought was to go move in with him and start her adult life maybe that phone call was to him to let him know she made her desition…and just like this world can be cruel, he ended up killing her? I mean let’s face it, even though it’s a good thought to wanna give everyone the benefit of the doubt that they are not the title they have been given and that maybe just maybe they are a good person, it’s not very practical in this world!
Just because the cops questioned him dsnt mean he had to get caught. The ending clearly implied that she was dead and that who ever she spoke with had to have had something to do with it. It’s so much easier to write a happy ending but sometimes that’s not what happens in real life….
my other theory since she had txt Paul she wanted to talk was that she told him she was going to keep the baby and thinking it would jeapordise his marriage and he killed her.
sure he seem like a great person in her blog but he was also cheating on his wife after seeming to be so in love with her…plus we all saw how accurate her blogs weren’t!
Over all she was a mess, not by choice but because of her past, she was broken and damaged, by the molester, by the divorce, by her fathers death…she lived a ‘on the edge’ type of life that lead her exactly there…to the edge…
I feel her pain it’s a shame she didn’t get to live her adult life…she never got to grow, to heal, to learn from her mistakes, to tell the world “fuck you, no matter what your not gonna break me!”, and she never got to look back at her old life and say “man, I’ve really changed! I’ve did it! I’m here!!!” It’s ashame, because it truly is…an amazing feeling…
Yes his name is Allison, get over it.
I never would have guessed it was a man either w that name
Someone below said “I want a happy ending” – not sure if you will get that but the sequel to Undiscovered Gyrl is called Another Girl (a novella available on Amazon).
Can’t wait to read it! I just learned about it and bought the kindle book
I have a theory. What if the main character is actually the mother? I haven’t put much thought into this theory, but it can very well be that the mother is writing a blog on her younger years or ever since her younger years, and that she never stopped writing her blog.
That was actually my immediate thought when I was watching the movie for the first time. It makes sense. I just wish the movie elaborated more.
I don’t think the actors are different though… they just look older. More “realistic” (to say the least) because of the more defined wrinkles, eye bags, etc. Less like a movie and more like reality. Before the whole mother reporting her missing thing, that’s the real movie. We are seeing things through the girl’s blog. After the mother reporting everything, that’s where everything is real.
Spoiler Alert. This film is transformed by its transcendent ending, a brilliant “coda” which forces us to reconsider everything that has come before. I think the key to understanding the ending lies in Katie/Amy’s rhetorical question at the supposed ‘end’ of her blog: “Do human beings ever dream a whole new life, and make it come true, or do they always go back to the way they were?” As other writers here have previously suggested, the “coda” is in fact Katie/Amy’s answer to her own question. It is her actual last blog entry, written not by her mother, but by Katie/Amy in her mother’s voice. It is Katie/Amy’s way of admitting to us that her account has in key details been a fictionalized improvement over her reality, which has, over time, cohered for her into an aspirational dream of a better “whole new life”, which she is determined to make come true.
Katie is actually the mother telling her own story. The entire story is based on the Katie’s mother’s early years. Katie/Amy is actually the baby whom she was pregnant with when she decided to change her life. The blog is the mother’s version of therapy where she tells her own story of her adolescence. When Katie/Amy disappears that is where her new life begins and the mother reveals her true identity at that point but doesn’t want the audience to know and reveals the credits of her life by introducing the true identities of the people she was blogging about. There is no missing girl in the sense of Amy going missing just that that part of the mother’s life was over and she and her daughter started a new life with one of the men she had been sleeping with (Katie’s/Amy’s alcoholic father). Katie’s father was the last reminder of her her mother’s self destructive years. I believe the blogger was Katie’s mother all along.
but who was the father?
so I only just watched this film tonight and there are a few things i’m confused about with this ending
am i the only person who picked up on the fact that the last messages she sent saying “i need to talk to you” was sent to Joel..? maybe she was hoping he would be able to knock some sense into her as he didn’t shy away from telling her how he felt..?
also she said she changed everyone’s name, but when her “mum” was telling us about each of the guys, she still referred to Dan as Dan but all the other lead male characters weren’t referred to by their name, just they’re occupation/how they knew her…
I get so anxious about an open ending… i really need answers lol
My feeling is that, if she had an abortion, eventually a record would surface; thus, we, the observers, would achieve a stronger, more realistic ability to know if she is, or is not, alive. With no indication whatsoever of such a record, we, the observers, can be left with the possible feeling that she lived through the pregnancy and delivered the baby — with the lives of TWO human beings now providing “footprints,” yet to be uncovered. OR, we, the observers, can be left with the more likely feeling that her own footprint, including a very early — as opposed to nearly-full-term — pregnancy (thus, not necessarily leaving its own footprint), was stifled by misadventure, forever. The latter is what I believe. I believe it, because the records of a birth delivery (including such gruesome example as the murdered-Lacy Peterson’s posthumous, underwater, delivery — not suggested, in any way, in this story), and activities of a second human being (a new baby) would more likely turn up than not. I do not believe her “life story” indicates that a blatant lifestyle of stupidity, on her part, ultimately caused her death. Rather, I believe this movie takes on a spiritual, metaphysical, existential theme, proposing that her life story stands as a prophecy, primarily educating herself, leading to her acceptance to “keep walking” the path in which misadventure (of which she had many familiar brushes) loomed large — I.e., a profoundly confounding misadventure that would mark, analyze and explain, what became of her very existence. “The moral of the story,” for me, is “it takes a village.” She was too much alone: The breeding ground for misadventure. (And perhaps the author feels that the internet is the greatest, modern enabler of a solitary life, ironic — and left vulnerable — in its excessive introspection.)
I just figured it out… omg
Remember when she wrote a fake letter to her doctor pretending it was her mom. Dismissing her from future appointments??? Well, I think she wrote on her OWN blog pretending to be her mom and that she was missing..when really she as the one thying that. As in, she either did it for the sake of drama for beer blog, as she claimmed she would do, OR she did it to be able to start her life over by ending her blog and ending who she was and starting over completely…
Martin sheen killed her.
I concur!
They already did make a sequel though, The movie “ROOM”.
LOL! 😀 You’re right 😀
I think that she was a very depressed girl and had a very sad life. Her life might have not been that amazing in her eyes, apart from her blog. In my opinion I think she made up her life on the blog, and we watched the movie from that perspective. She changed people to how she wished it could be, and made a new image of them. And at the end when is shows the picture of her, the actor from before looked opposite to watch she actually looked like. So she presented her self how she wished she was.Also I think she might have commuted suicide at the end. It confused everyone and there could be more explanations then just this one… This is just one of my opinions.
I think the movie is supposed to have both endings, you can either take it as a cautionary ending (something happened to her so be careful with what you do in your life. Or it could be that she ran away to start her own free life, a sort of triumph over adversity theme.
I finally saw the movie. What was the envelope she put in the mail before seeing Ms vansuo?
Also did they mention talking to the cops about the guy who tried to commit suicide? I forgot of they did or not…my TV wouldn’t let me rewind any further:)
They did. It was said that he felt really bad about the last message he left her.
The ending is symbolic . She starts life anew and we see the blog version of reality.
Hi there,
I’d like to discuss something. I have two theories. Either Martina was the one whom killed her seeming how she knew her blog name. And probably did some researching after the “paper” conversation.
OR something I really believe to be true. I don’t see any posts about her abusive bf or ex bf. The movie sort of minimizes the abuse he contributed. And they had left off talking about it being a “decent” chance that it’s his… and her saying she would have an abortion.. after having the change of heart with the older guy… I believe she messaged him about the baby,keeping it, or moving on etc. now I’d like to be able to minimize abuse as if it’s not a huge factor in the death of many women but I can’t, and it’s highly unlikely I would say that he’s capable with his type of anger to be innocent in the death of her.
I think he’s fully capable of it.. also SIDE NOTE; did the mother mention him at all included with all the men? I cannot remember. If anyone knows please reply. But I don’t doubt the abusive ex is culprit.
Good thoughts on being undiscovered though, but having an unknown caller then randomly no money and no phone use the night thereof.. I’d say author was intending otherwise. Especially if the police investigated the older sex offender. surely they would check if she’s missing and living with him in hiding from the world.
My heart hurts for any woman living in this sort of silent world. And sadly the stories in this movie are often the stories of women whom are molested or with severe trauma today. Definitely a reminder on hints to catch onto in the human race. :/
After the ending I just want to know if this is a true story now lol it completely through me off. The movie was great but I so didn’t expect that at the end…I personally think she got sick of everyone and wanted to start a new life so she left. But what’s odd is the call she got before she disappeared. Idk left me guessing!
Omg these comments are making me crazy!
what i don’t understand is that she has full use of the volvo until she gave up the job with the family she was working for so why did she still have the car? Why couldn’t they track the volvo or something?
If anyone pops in here ….if you like this movie and have not seen “Megan is Missing” give it a try ….the ending is wicked !
I wonder if the author really wrote the novel based on true story.
I think it’s a cautionary tale to us, the “blog reader”. I think we are developing a relationship with this character, be it love or hate. Then we find out this person is missing or hurt but her mother will be continuing the blog. The mother was catfishing us and the other readers the whole time! There is no daughter, there is no potential baby or Multiple suitors, just a lonely middle aged woman at her computer. Now she can continue to garnish attention and now sympathy on the blog as the villigant mother.
My theory is along the lines of catfishing. As horrible as it sounds, I’ve been around forums and various other places for about 17 years, and it’s happened on many occasions that people show up, lie about their identity, spin a woeful tale about their life, often going for hard-hitting and shocking stories because people don’t dare question them, then follow it all through to a car crash ending, only to issue an ultimatum and then vanish. These same people are then unable to pull away from the very real connections they’ve made in their lie and create a secondary character just to get close to them again. Given that the author wants to illustrate the toxicity of online behaviour, I wouldn’t be surprised if he had experienced this and wanted to express to the people watching the movie that sense of loss and panic which comes from having someone you thought you knew and loved just vanishing, and being unable to find out if they’re even real, or having someone come back and tell you something horrible has happened to them.
This was honestly a terrible movie. All the dialogue seemed unrealistic, the characters were unrealistic. Like really, who acts like this?? And they kept taking serious subjects like cheating, rape and pregnant and putting a lighthearted “whimsical” feel to it as if those subjects aren’t serious things. And then she wanted to live with an old man that “kinda” raped someone but not int the “traditional sense”. I’m sorry but from his story I got that he point blank raped her so idk why you would even consider living let alone speaking to him afterwards.
The ending was the only interesting part and they even screwed that up. What was the point in changing all the actors?? It’s not like the people that read the blog knew what she looked like or what any of them looked like. We never see her describing on her blog what anyone looks like so why change the actors?
And then they want to pull like a “Lovely Bones” type crap on us in the last 5 minutes. Ummm no. This ditzy girl probably ran off with a random guy she never mentioned or went to get an abortion then ran away. She’ll probably show up on her mother’s doorstep in a few months with some stupid, half assed excuse and her mom will of course forgive her as if nothing happened (which she seems to do all the time).
Many times in the movie it shows Katie driving past a bridge, usually after something bad has just happened to her. For those of you who don’t know that is the Colorado Street Bridge, known for being ‘the suicide bridge’. It also occurs that between Katie and Joel they both have tried committing suicide by attempting to jump off high buildings (or bridges). The ending is her way of saying goodbye to her life and what she has done with it. Her killing herself is also a solution to her baby dilemma, that way the baby won’t go on to live a life without her mother (if she chose abortion) but Katie also wouldn’t have to deal with taking care of a child at such a young age. Off topic : but it seemed the writer was trying to convey something since Katie was nannying a young child right before she found out she was pregnant. Maybe Allison (the writer) was trying to show how she is capable of handling a child, also earlier in the movie Katie says a couple times that she has no experience with baby’s. Anyways back to my theory, is it possible that she killed herself. At the end of the movie when she gets in the bathtub, the last time it shows Katie, she is what looks like attempting to drown herself in the bathtub. Let me know what you think. Could it be possible?
Sorry If I ask and sorry for my english, Im not from U.S. but i wanted to know if you know where the movie was filmed. Was in Pasadena or somewhere in Los Angeles? Do you know any of the locations?
Theories:
Slater’s character’s wife did it. The text was intercepted by her and she (posing as Slater’s character in a text reply) met with Katie and knocked her off because she was mad at learning of the affair and possibly learning of the pregnancy.
Either that or she also faked the end of the blog as her Mom to put an end to that part of her life and move on with a child. She already faked writing as her mom in the letter to the therapist. All the names at the end were also made up.
(2 years later) Hi! just saw the film it was AMAZING! about the ending..WTF?!! Also, as some of you guys mentioned, I believe that she just escaped reality by pretending to be her mother blogging about her missing, anyways, great movie and I enjoyed it despite the ending that made me lost and confused.
I’m not sure if anyone knows this but there is a second book called Another Girl. i just ordered both to read but the second one is a print on demand book so i have to wait for it to be printed. I’m hoping this book tells me what happened to her because even though its not real i still need to know.
So did you get the book? What’s it about?
Please let us know when you find out, i just watched it and am pissed!
Realmente necesito leer el fucking libro!!
I’m going to go with the first theory..
But I did want to put this out there. Maybe in real life Amy told the Fiancé that her name was Katie.. so in the blog she just switched that around. Just a thought
I go with theory #1. If everyone said she mainly told the truth on her blog but he denies it, then he is not innocent. Its a stretch to think someone would commit murder. Takes a certain type of person. He could have, hopefully, provided her another life – like money and a new identity – to keep his marriage intacted. If I were that man’s wife, he would be gone. This coming from someone in her 22nd year of marriage. If he lied about the babysitter, he’s lying about other things too. No boundaries.
I think you can take it very literal and take from it the dangers young women face. One- a single man convicted of any sex crime offering to raise a child is a red flag. Two- the married man had every reason to try and cover up what he had been doing. Three- this is like every tragic tale you hear on the news. A women goes missing because she gets involved with the wrong man. However all of the obvious I have a different take on it. The ending was more symbolic. When she’s in the bathtub and is thinking it would be a good ending to the blog her basically growing up and moving forward in a new direction. She goes under the water then comes up and the scene ends. As almostnto baptize the new her. The adult her. I think she is the mom at the end who brings forth the truth. The old her is not dead but simply missing from this chapter in her life. Still there but never to be found again. She re tells the story in a less romanticized juvenile way. The truth is the men were less glamorous and her life was a little more tragic then she made it out to be. She still wants validation from people so she writes about her missing daughter. She takes on the roll as the mom to her blog fallowers. Scolding them for the harsh things they said to her making them feel to their eye core the impact words could have. She wishes her friend felt bad for the truth he told her even though it was well deserved. But she still writes in his grief over finding out she is missing. Making me think even more so that it’s really her carrying on the blog not her mother. She still needs to be heard on some level so she will always write in the blog. But now she has become a mother choosing to keep the baby. And move forward away from the girl she used to be. She ignores the guys who could possibly be the father to her child. Writing them off as not knowing about the baby or denying it all together. This is tonease her guilt in raising the child alone and fatherless. You could see it in her eyes when the man said he would raise the child as his own a fear swept over her face. Her child could end up like her with the abuse being done to it. Only she could have her baby, only she could save herself. So she let go of the selfish troubled girl she was. She let her slip out in the night and never return. She wrote her self in her blog as the mother and in her actual like she become the mother to her child. Her letter to the man who abused her was her last bit of closure on her old life. Almost like her good bye letter to the past and what so deeply effect her.
ok – I’m late into the game – just watched the movie – My daughter is 22 and took a year off college – the big take away for me is how we all function base on our upbringing. I dated and fell in love with a women who had so many issues on so many levels …. the character in the movie brings it to real life how an event can have lifelong effects and can controll the day to day choices. I’m more forgiving and cognisant of the consequences of life. She hooked up with the next ride and like a hitchhiker moved to the new town and started over. She is alive and well. Doing her own thing….much like my lost love.
The music is off the HOOK
It was quite obviously her drug addict best friend and boyfriend with rage issues. They killed her murder style. WHy? Becuase she was pregnant with HIS child.
ok. I have some random thoughts. First of all, do we remember the best friend. We see her in Katie’s life when Katie is driving home. It was like a second of Katie being pulled back into reality. Plus I keep thinking about how Amy glamoured her life in all of this. Plus where was Joel in the real world. Ok now officially confused and need to keep thinking
my theory is that that phone call was an update on joel’s suicide attempt. i think that she told katie/amy that joel can now have visitors and she realized that joel was exactly the man she needed. single, caring, and a good guy. she wants to start over. completely from scratch. so she goes to him, and stays with him and raises the baby. a new life. Or, katie/amy really was depressed. you see in the end she writes the letter to her molester, calls and texts all her lovers, kind of closing everything off. which can be seen as a sign of planning an attempt. maybe the call was to tell her that joel was dead, and that was her last straw. he was really the only positive energy in her life. she had her blog but even there everyone gave her shit. maybe the call was to tell her joel was gone, and she followed in his footsteps. this would also explain the fact that she hasn’t used her phone or taken money out of the bank.
just watched this movie.I thought originally that it was based on a true story. I imagined the blocked phone call as the father of the child and he took her to get an abortion and either killed her on their way or she died from a bad abortion doctor and it was covered up.
I think she really did disappear. Like many traumatized women, they are retraumatized over and over again. During the last few minutes of the movie, notice the dangerous things she was doing. Martin Sheen locks the door, turns over the “open” sign on the door to read “closed”. The blinds go down and he picks up a blind to look out the window, almost like he’s looking for “witnesses”. She knows he is a sex offender, yet willingly is with him in a locked room. When she leaves the bookstore, she is walking in the middle of the street as if she doesn’t care if she gets hit by a car or not. In fact, a car swerves at the last minute to avoid her. To me, this meant, she would continue to be victimized in one way or another. Whether she is attacked by the bookstore owner, re-attacked by her boyfriend, killed by her married lover or cast aside by her suicidal male friend. Anything could have happened, and her episodes were getter scarier and scarier. I think she got in the car with someone and her body was never found.
Hmm… Good perspective. She is a traumatized women, never seeing the otherwise option and always a victim..
I thinking she text the boss to not tell him about the baby but to quit the job, and either she ended up telling him he was the one who hurts her OR seeing as how premiscuous she was maybe there was another sexual partner we didn’t hear about and that is who knows what happened to her, maybe?
I think the beauty of this movie is how awfully beautiful the world is. I think you can keep thinking of this movie and the more you think about human nature the more ways you can spin it. Was the bookstore man even real? Could he have been her neighbor? Was the neighbor really the molester or was it her father? What about the step father? She doesn’t like him and there is an awkward feeling between them. Could it be this book was written as a precaution to pedophiles and abusive men? Maybe it was to show them the damage the create. There was not one man in the movie who didnt treat her as a sex object. Maybe it was to show how disposable girls are to these sick men. Maybe in the end the mother is her. Maybe she had her baby and the ending of who would want to hurt my daughter everyone is her fear of her own daughter being hurt. The interpetations are endless. In fact this blog itself could be the ending. Maybe we are all the writers. The story has no ending because sexual abuse and the ugly affects have no end. The affects of it touch most of our families and friends in some way shape or form. In the end it is all fiction based on all real senerios. The truth is who would want to hurt her, everyone because it could be anyone a neighbor, father, friend, boss, friend, jealous female, mother, stepfather, herself, and anyone of the readers.
Totally agree with you on the possibility of the dad being the molester, thought that during the movie. Also thought the bookstore owner was waaaaayyyy to eager to offer her to take her in, and her baby.
I read most of the comments on here after I just got through watching this movie and had no one considered she ran off with “Joel” … maybe that’s who she texted… we don’t know if enough time had passed that hey may have visitors and she was just taking a chance by texting him ….maybe in her “growing up” she had come to realize that he was the one true man in her life that offered friendship (that could grow into more?) without expecting anything physical from her ….. maybe they ran off together and healed each other???
Omg this movie is awesome i really believe she was missing
So I googled it turns out her boyfriend asked her to jump off a tall rock by the river and she died from the fall cause apparently she didn’t know how to swim… The girls real name is Amy Grantham …
She got the sneer she was looking for. And that’s to be loved (which always reminded her of her father)
Remember when ever she would have sex, what wpuld she always thing about (her lovely childhood times with her father) I believe that made her think she’s in love.
The Liberian “molester ” gave her the answers she was longing for all this time, so she left to go practice her answers, and that’s living… 🙂
So I haven’t read all the comments and thus if someone mentioned this I apologize but I have a theory. The whole movie I was thinking that the person who molested her as a child was her father. And then the neighbor reveal happened. HOWEVER, I think that was another lie by Katie because she loves her father despite the molestation and “Being an asshole” like she said. So it’s to protect him as well as maybe just something she suppresses.
I have two moments to back this up; first when she is telling Joel about the neighbor she mentions that she just thought she had these issues because her father was an asshole, not the neighbor thing. And then when she writes the neighbor a letter she mentions her remembering everything and thinking he would remember everything too because he was an adult. AND SO if you remember early in the film she talks with her dad about not remembering “him being her hero” so it’s small but the memory connection also plays into her suppressing those molestation memories because they were of her dad.
SECONDLY, the most damning evidence, just the one line he says about “you promised never to grow up, tits and everything.” That’s an extremely inappropriate thing to say to your daughter. Potential motivation behind that could be not wanting her to grow up because then her couldn’t touch her anymore.
All of this could just be puzzle pieces I’m trying to force together, but maybe not. I also just think it’s more narratively impactful than a random neighbor and especially makes sense because we know Katie lies to us the whole movie. So I’m curious to know if anyone else maybe had these thoughts or more pieces to add. I know this isn’t about the ending like this thread is, but it’s the only place about this movie I could find on the internet to talk about. So thanks for the outlet!
OMG! I NEVER thought that I don’t think anyone else wrote that in the comments either…….
hmmmm
the movie jus got on my nerves bc it makes so sense at all , like i can watch britt robenson all day thats the only reason i clicked on it . but still someone from the movie making process shouldve explained
Okay, so I just watched this movie and I wanted to look and see if anything had been found on her. I read most of these comments and it seems like everyone keeps circling the same ideas. She left that note for Dan and texted Paul. Everyone keeps saying it isn’t plausible for her to have ran off because she didn’t have funds. Well she could have threatened both men that she would tell their partners about what went on, she blackmails them for money and then she has funds. Paul made a good amount of money, and Dan could have been blackmailed for something else possibly. They said in the movie that she never took any money out of her bank account but I’m sure it could have been easy to set her up someplace else. The red also a chance that what she said happened with the men didn’t completely happen or happened with men that no one knew about. She said in the beginning she was gonna change details and she could have changed the details so much that she made a story out of it on her blog
I think she either hurt herself or was hurt by someone – by one of the men she was seeing… It did not feel like a happy ending.
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatttttttttttttttttt!!!
I didn’t understand anything about such a none understandable movie!!!
The bookstore owner might not have any correlation between Katie’s missing as explained at the end. Remember when Katie double checked the bookstore owner? She was probably not sure if the bookstore owner can be trusted or not. And those answers given by the bookstore owner was pretty much leading to the same things—taking Katie’s advantage. At the end, everyone wants to hurt her. At the end everyone has intention to hurt her tho she’s the one who is needing the help with that condition. So it was probably the same hurting phonecall from someone that made up her mind to start over her new life with someone we don’t know yet. Or probably whoever called her that night, she trusted em and again she got hurt instead and never coming back.
When was she able to post the blog about the bookstore owner conversation, since she disappeared while walking back home? Wouldn’t that mean that she posted the last fake blog as her mother?
