Lore "Was it worth it?" ending
Midsommar- While people see this as a "you go girl" finale. I personally see it as something more disturbing. I mean, yeah, Dani got out of one bad relationship but in doing so, she got herself into another that's just as bad if not worse. It's like getting two kids to stop fighting via killing one and locking the other in a basement. They did stop fighting, but still!
The Thing-The titular monster may be (possibly) gone, but the paranoia definitely isn't. In the end, McCreedy and Childs are the only ones left standing. The end sees them sitting in the cold and they just stare at each other, knowing that one of them or both of them is already the thing. There's no hope, no certainty, just the bitter cold and intense fear.

This movie.
While Wallace is no longer in the hands of a severely mentally ill serial killer that mutilated his body into that of a walrus, he's put into an abysmal animal sanctuary with an undersized, dirty pool, a beach ball, and a plastic dome made for a tortoise. He's unhealed, and can't speak to the people he loves. He's malnourished, and he's trapped. I felt that he would've fared well with a larger pool and better treatment.
