The beginning of this movie is so fun, the cross-cutting across time is a really great storytelling conceit, I was so locked into the way this young con artist was fucking with these dumb racist rich people
But then it turned into a very different movie
It's hard to have the final point of the film be "I will not turn this young guy into an anecdote" when that's exactly what the movie is doing?

The way my jaw dropped when it cut to credits
No, no, no, surely that can't be how it ends. Surely! There has to be more, this is a fakeout or something right? I knew it wasn't, because Amazon immediately tried cramming another movie in my face, but all the same I just sat there and stared slack-jawed and horrified while the credits rolled, some irrational part of me still wanting to believe that the movie was going to kick back in, while also knowing full well that the very fact I was reacting this way meant the ending was tortuously, heart-rendingly perfect
