OMG I hated the ending of Yesteryear. It totally ruined it for me! I honestly think it's one of the worst endings I've read in a while. It would have been so much better (and more on theme) if she'd been gaslit or forced by the father-in-law and a production crew to be in this reality to 'redeem' herself. Also, if she's trying to escape and doesn't want this situation anymore then that would be a great legal defense but instead she's serving time? It seems like the author had this great initial idea and didn't know how to get out of it.
I agree!! I actually read that Anne Hathaway optioned it before it was finished, so maybe it was a case of too many cooks in the kitchen with studio heads, production teams, editors, all weighing in? Because after setting up this whole thing, so well, the ending felt like a cop out.
Happy, happy birthday, Meredith!!! ❤️❤️
Thank you!! 😊

Yes, I bet that's what happened. So disappointing!
The Nightmare on Elm Street franchise is the ultimate "it was just a dream"
