End was odd. Such a good mystery and intrigue movie and the end just wasn’t. I dislike “out of the blue” things you can’t see coming.

See, if you do have a bit of knowledge on current catholic church politics and pick up of some clues early on in the movie you can definitely see the ending coming. It’s not unguessable.

  I agree that the end is not unguessable, but it’s pure wish fulfillment, and it’s not earned by the characters involved.

    Yeah the ending is perfectly fine in theory, there just isn’t enough dedicated to it throughout the rest of the film for it to work effectively. I haven’t read the novel so I wonder if that did a better job in this regard.

    Ah, yes that’s true.

I agree, completely unearned. My headcanon has the movie end quite differently and more satisfactorily (but I won’t give spoilers).
