You have such great thoughts about this. I love the idea of their relationship transcending form and what we all think we know about film. The surreality of the climax scene was dark but also joyous, like their love expanding what is possible with their story. One other thing that stood out to me was the cycle of violence that is so everpresent in this film. While Jackie is unstable, it is often the misogynistic, homophobic world that causes women to absorb and also express abuse. I like that even though Lou is horrified by what she'd done, she doesn't hesitate to protect her, even knowing the circumstances could be deadly.
I loved it too. It was emotionally tiring, but one that was also very entertaining.
