![]() He’s not just a hot bod to be used, you know. Frank does seem kind of lonely and melancholy in the movie. On the way back the next day, Frank peeks into her journal while she’s in a gas station and sees drawings that show she still wants to be with Jack, thus causing him to grow disillusioned with her. However, the passionate trip turns sour when he leaves her alone to hang out with a bunch of people she doesn’t know while he snorts coke with his friend in another room. He persuades her to go on a spontaneous road trip with him, one fueled by make out sessions and car sex, to visit some musician friends of his. On a weekend when Jack is away at a conference, Frank visits her and the both of them are so drawn to each other that they have sex right on the floor. And when they meet at a friend’s gathering, their looks are filled with unspoken tension that Jack seems to pick up on and is disquieted by, but Daphne continues pretending nothing happened between her and Frank. She does stop texting Frank for a while, but when they start again, she sends him a “Been thinking about you alot” message that he reads but doesn’t reply. And in that same conversation where she finds out that both guys are best friends and she says that she doesn’t want to come between them, she breaks her romantic-relationships-and-alcohol sabbatical and sleeps with Frank, and then lies about it the next day to Jack, while agreeing to explore a relationship with him. ![]() Jamie Dornan as Jack and Shailene Woodley as Daphne in Endings, Beginningsįor reasons that I cannot fathom and the movie never makes clear, because Daphne really isn’t an interesting person from what I can see, both guys are so inexplicably enamoured with her that we (and she) soon find out from Frank that both guys are best friends. ![]() Separately, Jack finds out where she’s temping and also asks her out, where they talk more “deep stuff”. After the party, Frank gets her number and texts her in the same nonsensical vein that they’ve established. The second, Jack, is a professor she met before and they have an “intellectual” conversation. The first, Frank, is an intriguing wildcard who flirts with her by talking nonsense. Then, she meets two guys at a party in her sister’s house. Her friend offers to have her pick up shifts in her clothing store for cash. It’s one of those artsy-fartsy jobs that don’t seem to be in much demand, so she’s not having any luck on the job front. She decides to go on a six-month sabbatical from romantic relationships and alcohol while she figures herself out and looks for a new job. My immediate thoughts while watching the movie were “WHAT is this girl DOING?” It starts off with her moving into her sister’s pool house, and we find out she’s recently quit her job and her boyfriend for what seems like no reason.

Plus, the movie made me think about how messy we are as human beings, sometimes doing things and making choices that we know we shouldn’t for no other reason than we felt like it. I found Jamie Dornan and Shailene Woodley’s relationship dull.) (Sebastian Stan is SEX ON A STICK in this movie, so if you’re into that, you should totally watch this movie. ![]() I watched it because of Sebastian Stan, so I got what I came for, even though I had to suffer through Daphne’s banal interactions with other people in the process. It depends on what you want to watch the movie for. (Or not thinking, as it turns out.) But once you get over being judgey, there’s plenty to relate to - maybe not her situation, or the decisions that she makes, but how she goes about making them. Who knew one shouldn’t get into love triangles while figuring out your life? You’ll definitely wonder what this girl is thinking. ![]()
