Journal #11: A Separation A Separation ends with Termeh having to decide whether she’s going to live with her mother or father. She said she had made up her mind, but did not want to say it in front of her parents, and so they both left the room—and then the film ended.

The ending left it open for us to decide which parent she’ll choose, and while that kind of sucks, it is also cool to create an ending for the film. Honestly though, it didn’t really frustrate my expectations about narratives. The film itself was a little weird,
