The wanted mother and son have a final showdown on the beach where Philip is seen stabbing Lou before the pair come together for a tight final hug, with Lou apologising to Philip. A CIA helicopter then appears to shoot them both. The film's final scene shows Hannah and Vee on a ferry, leaving Orcas Island for Seattle.
Who is looking through binoculars at the end of Lou?
The woman appears to have brown hair (not grey like Lou did previously). However, the copper bracelet and binoculars appear to suggest that Lou is still alive and is still watching over Hannah and Vee.
After finding her injured much later in the film, Rankin places the copper bracelet on Lou's wrist. His wholesome gesture goes a long way as Lou later uses the same bracelet to make an antenna and manipulate the frequency of the bomb that Philip plants at the lighthouse.
The biggest twist in Lou's ending is that Philip is actually Lou's son. Lou was aware throughout the entire hunt for Vee that she had been abducted by her own son whom she knew was Hannah's ex-husband, but this was not revealed until the film's ending.
Lou sends Hannah to radio for help, while she goes to confront Philip and rescue Vee. After a standoff, it is revealed Philip is actually Lou's son, who tracked them down after she turned him in and hid them for protection.
After a standoff, it is revealed Philip is actually Lou's son, who tracked them down after she turned him in and hid them for protection. It is also revealed that Lou abandoned him as a child to avoid blowing her undercover mission in Iran.
Or did Philip's body protect her from the bullets? Nothing is confirmed, but the film certainly seems to suggest that Lou could be alive. Still, Hannah and Vee are (presumably) safe going forward, which is at least some sort of a happy ending after all. Lou is streaming on Netflix now.
Does Jax survive the action movie? Read on for SPOILERS about the welfare of the animals in the movie. Fortunately, Jax is just fine and comes to no harm. At the end of the film, Lou leaves the dog with Hannah and Vee, who also make it through.
Ridley Asha Bateman as Vee - Playing Vee, the kidnapped daughter of Jurnee Smollett's Hannah, Ridley Asha Bateman costars in Lou with just the third project on her resume.
Ruben insists he doesn't need help and doesn't want to stay, but Lou and Joe think he needs help. Joe says if he stays he he has to commit to the program and will have no contact with the outside world, including Lou. Ruben refuses and leaves.
Lou ended with all the dirt out in the open and Hannah and Vee departing via ferry to start a new life in Seattle with the money Lou left them. Lou always wanted that for her family, ergo why she plotted and got them out to the island -- so she could watch over them until she was sure Phil was dead.
The other actors are good in their roles too with Jurmee Smollett's performance as an abuse survivor quite engaging and Logan Marshall-Green a solidly done antagonist even if they're not as compelling as Janney's role.
Directed by Ann Foerster from a screenplay co-written by Maggie Cohn and Jack Stanley, “Lou” stars Janney as a reclusive landowner in a small Pacific Northwest coastal community in the late 1980s.
The film is about a lost-and-found box and the unseen monster within. It was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film at the 90th Academy Awards.
Lou was filmed in Vancouver Island, Canada, and the British Columbia area. There was a lot of rainfall on set as viewers got to witness, so it wasn't particularly glamorous with lots of outdoor shoots, and the actors had a heatwave to deal with.
Though Will and Louisa go on an island vacation and sleep together in his bed, we never actually hear her say, “I love you.” But we don't need to — the look on her face says it all. Me Before You opens in theaters June 3.
At first taking up a knife to defend herself, the taunts of the group cause Lou to have a breakdown, and she ends up punching herself in the stomach and slashing herself with the knife on her face and arm as the group encourages her to kill herself, before being comforted by Eva.
Parents need to know that Lou is a graphically violent and suspenseful thriller about two women attempting to rescue a child who has been kidnapped by her deranged father.
So, what happens at the end of Lou? Before the film reaches its climax, we learn Lou's biggest secret: she's not merely a stranger to Hannah and her daughter Vee (Ridley Bateman). In fact, she's a former CIA agent with a familial connection to the pair.
The story drags a little in the middle and the script is riddled with genre cliches, but Janney elevates some pretty weak material and the finale is well worth the wait. Overall, LOU is nothing original or to go out of your way to watch, but it's a decent little action flick.
