So I watched
Let the Right One In, as I said I would once I discovered that the two characters actually shared the same gender (for more discussion on that, see
the last post [and I first typed that as "for moe discussion," and maybe that's just as accurate]).
This is the quiet sort of film that I may or may not like, even if I recognize that it's very well-made, and in such a case the film's make-or-break will be the ending. In this case, I really loved the last two scenes. They fulfilled the story structure in a way that I thought worked exactly right, and so I did like the film. Thanks to all those who encouraged me!
