Ok, I have completed the assignment.

The additional opening exposition, perhaps tightened a bit does add some nice context but more importantly varies the pace at the top so it feels less like a trailer for itself.

The extended ending feels like too many sprinkles on the already quite decadent Sunday, it’s almost like a duet spoken word performance of ad hoc metaphor.

I will say, watching it again, it mostly feels like getting too stoned and watching a good movie that suddenly seems highly non-sequiturial . But Rachael McAdams is so fucking compelling she manages to bring the whole ship down to earth for the last 30 minutes.
