My wife and I waited so long to watch this and we both were so disappointed in the ending.
I am going to talk about the ending, so please do not read any more unless you have already watched the movie.
I wish that Director Miguel Arteta could release another DVD or Theatrical Release with an alternate ending.
The movie would have been better if Director Arteta would have just switched the "dream" sequence ending with the actual ending. I think it would have a better ending if John Lithgow's character turned to Beatriz and said, "What are you doing?" which prompts Beatriz to talk with him before leaving the house.
My suggestion is that keep this entire scene as the "dream" sequence.
When Lithgow's character confronts Beatriz as to what she is doing as she is in a trance, let Beatriz drop the knife but pick it up again and have the ending be the stabbing with everyone around her.
Have Beatriz calmly walk out of the house and get in the wrecker as her car is being towed.
I think it would make a lot more sense for her to look back at her life, what she just did, and then walk into the ocean.
I wish the movie would have shared more about her husband, her daughter, and whoever she was talking on the phone about the old days growing up in the mangroves in Mexico.
I can't wait for Beatriz at Dinner Part 2!
