The ending murder montage = edited way too fast


Last gripe about the stylistic choices for the ending of "Sharp Objects", but did anyone else find the editing waaaaay too quick as it jumped between Amma's killings?

I didn't need the TV series to linger in salacious detail on the murders, but I had to play the scene in slow-motion to see the multiple hands of Amma's friends on Natalie. Also, I couldn't make out Mae's face against the fence at all. It was incomprehensible.

I just finished a binge watch of the entire series. The flash of scenes after the credits was incredibly annoying. But I think it was meant to be a flash of thoughts going through Camille's mind as she realized what had happened. But it is an insult to the viewers, who have invested 8 hours watching the show, to have the reveal done in such a hasty manner. WTF!

Exactly, well said. Not only 8 hours, but 8 weeks of loyal viewing and they deliver scraps. Very insulting. We never learn what happens next. Does she turn in Amma? From what I read on wiki, the book tells more.
