10 Movie Endings You Can Only Work Out For Yourself

7. Horse Girl

The Lobster
Netflix

Netflix's Horse Girl stars Alison Brie as Sarah, a shy, awkward young woman who begins to have strange dreams and unaccounted for lapses of time in her memory.

Those around Sarah believe her to be going through a mental health crisis, given her own mother's recent suicide, but Sarah becomes convinced she was abducted by aliens and may in fact be a clone.

Sarah's beliefs only become more rigid as the story progresses, even after a stay in a psychiatric hospital. The film ends with Sarah being discharged, laying down on the ground, and suddenly being levitated into the air and seemingly abducted by a UFO.

This is one of those endings you're free to take literally or not - it's entirely possible Sarah was indeed seeing reality the entire time and was abducted at the end, but it's also entirely probable she's in the midst of a delusional episode, and the abduction could even represent her suicide.

The film makes no attempt at all to come down on one side or the other, and as such it's left viewers baffled and divided ever since.
