"The ending to Malcolm & Marie isn't satisfying, but then again, it doesn't seem like the most satisfying ending for the film would've been possible for how toxic their relationship is. As soon as I saw Malcolm wake up alone, I knew Marie had relapsed, and he would find her dead somewhere, and that's how the film would end . . . but it didn't. Instead, he finds her standing alone outside, and he joins her, leaving pretty much everything unresolved. Except it might not be as uncertain as we'd like to think. Throughout the film, we see the highs and lows of their relationship repeat themselves. If anything, this ending just serves as a clean slate for the cycle to start over again. I'm glad that Marie is simply standing outside because anything else outside of her leaving Malcolm would've been devastating." — Grayson Gilcrease, celebrity and entertainment assistant editor
