re: the pacing, Maddie talks a lot about how time Feels Wrong and I think that's what the pacing is meant to evoke -- this is not "real." this is dream-time. by the end, Owen is dying very slowly but exhibiting congruent signs of dehydration and suffocation as Maddie describes from her time being buried. time/life is not moving for all these characters/selves at the same pace. my interpretation of those final scenes is very much "Isabel is still alive, for now"
oh wow, I didn't pick up on that, but it makes sense to me- i'll definitely watch with this in mind the second time around, thanks!
just my opinion, still raw and bloody from my own first watch! I was thinking a lot about the inhaler as a fellow asthmatic...but shortness of breath can signify a few different things..........
(also not to say you're wrong by any means, I am thinking of the pacing in connection with the part of the monologue where she talks about suddenly being 21 and I agree that's very much the kind of time dilation one can experience through trauma and suppression)
