i did see quite a few obviously symbolic scenes (e.g. veronica raising the torch/burning down the crematorium/airplanes flying over in the end) but it's still lazy and too shallow of a "revenge fantasy" when it could've activated a genuine conversation about race and inequity, instead of just trivializing veronica's victimization & idealizing her success. and for that reason i'm disappointed
The ending is bizarre. Good that despite all the other plot points like the cheating husband, the throughline is on how Martha deals with grief. It's not the stages of grief, but the struggle between allowing yourself to feel and living with social expectations. The courtroom speech is genuine but also not completely necessary, just good for drama.
