Strangely, the strongest moment in the film for me came early on. When they're taking a walk in the forest and Cora decides to hide in order to provoke the then-unnamed patient to speak. The way she's crushed by it is almost like a child who lost their mother. Usually, such an emotional scene in the beginning of the film is a bad thing, but here it doesn't lessen the impact of the rest of the movie. On the contrary, it provides you the necessary context. That scene haunted me all throughout the film, because as we learn more about the patient, the more we start to treasure the one strong connection she had in this world. As the movie comes to conclusion, it makes you reflect. And the climax of the story exists all in your head, in the memories of that earlier scene, rather than in the actual ending, which might appear unfulfilling otherwise. Also, I want to point out that some kind soul loans mittens to the protagonist at some point of the movie under the condition that she returns them tomorrow, and she totally doesn't. And just to rub it in, the director decided to have her carry these mittens with her throughout the rest of the film. Every time I'd see those gloves, I'd get annoyed like "ah, come on!" I mean, why? Is this some kinda statement? That even kind people who travel to another country to help someone wouldn't always act decent? I dunno.
