accurate.

no notes.

I think they were both manipulating her. They both were from the beginning. Done. Explained. Next!

There is no easy explanation for this film and there are many things left unanswered such as if Scott was actually involved in the kidnapping plot or if he just uses it afterwards to try and break her down. I’m still leaning toward him not being involved in it but still using it as an opportunity to get her money and run off with Madelin. Scott and Madelin were gaslighting her to the extreme trying to make her seem insane by lying about the dog, the mother and basically everything. I’m not sure if there ever even was a mother or if it was part of Meg’s hallucinations since she kept seeing a woman in the woods. Meg clearly has PTSD but is not as delusional as Scott is trying to make her think she is.

I think that Scott thought she was dead or decided to run off to the house in the woods after she got kidnapped (maybe to avoid the press?) and that’s why he says he didn’t get the video from the kidnappers as he got it a month later since he wasn’t home. He tells Meg he didn’t receive it because he didn’t want her to know he stopped waiting for her and instead took up with Madelin. I think when Meg gets free (possibly because the kidnappers realized Scott wasn’t going to pay up?) that’s when he and Madelin hatch the plot to drive her over the edge and steal her money.

Anyway, this is my best shot at explaining this film!

The swim scene with the three of them and Meg drowning?

Is Meg in a time loop as the film began and ended the same way? Why would Madelin lie about her sick mother?

And what bothered me was when Scott broke the door to get to Meg and his holding her down. That’s abuse. Run away I screamed at the tv!
Sorry still dont understand the whole thing.
