That Final Scene

By Sophie

The newsletter 35K+ monthly readers choose to talk about films. TFS connects cinema to the conversations that matter now. Weekly essays that make you the smartest voice in every party, plus regular takes from readers to chew on.

I am not a guy who gets too hung up on endings, but Sophie's That Final Scene treats narrative conclusions — among other cinematic topics — with the proper amount of reverence. Not too much, but not too little.
