Dearest was a wonderful movie to watch and experience. I thought it was directly beautifully, and all of the actors did a wonderful job. I thought it was interesting how the movie changed perspective halfway through, from the view of the child's parents to the wife of the child abductor. I found both of their stories extremely compelling and I felt bad for both of them as I watched. Though, I felt like the parents were in the right as opposed to the wife. I think the wife buried her knowledge of the fact that her husband was an abductor. She certainly had feelings for the children, but I felt like in the back of her mind she knew they weren't hers. Also, the ending was very uninformative. I felt like it was a great cliffhanger, but I don't think it should have ended that way. I don't think they should have wrapped everything up neatly, but they should have at least said what happened in the credits like they did with other subjects.
