Spoiler So figured it out when I saw Mae had something written on her hand, but not sure why that tipped me off
Amma always had to be her good girl. Always had to be the favorite. Then, she had to kill the new girl because she thought she was going to get between her and Camille.
Actress that played Amma plays creepy extremely well. Hope to see more from her. Amy Adams killed it. Great cast all around really
I’m feeling like there’s some feats of strength that are hard to explain with positioning the body in town etc. Also, she’s doing some next level sneak stuff but is sloppy enough to not clean off the pliers? That doll house is immaculate so clearly she’s not above the minutiae of covering her tracks meticulously. Overall I enjoyed the show a lot. I feel like their desire to end the series as a “think piece” with a big payoff worked somewhat but left some things dangling.
I kinda half assed watched this show which i now regret not paying more attention to. One question, why was the mom poisoning the daughters? TIA
Muchausen’s by-proxy. It’s a mental illness. The mother gets attention and fulfillment when her daughters are sick and when she cares for them. Eventually she can’t stop harming them to maintain the attention and they die.
I don’t think Adora knew it was Amma Adora got close to the two girls and Amma killed them out of jealousy Same with Mae, she was getting too close with Camille
What was on Amma’s friends hand/wrist at dinner that Camille looked at? Looked like it said “call” and then something else I couldn’t tell what though.
Call Mom on hand and then "read text" on inside of fingers. Right hand had Boy" on inside wrist and some other words I could not make out. Also her fingernail polish is not red like in murder scene.
rewatching last episode, Amma told Adora she didnt need the medicine and it wasnt until Adora started to take apart the dollhouse that Amma agreed to let Adora take care of her more crazy great show
Well shit I did not see that twist coming. I do not understand the significance of what was on the new friends hand.
I figured there was something with the ivory and teeth but then there was the talk of the girls biting and stuff. I actually joked with someone while talking about the show a few weeks ago that maybe Adora was redoing some of the ivory floor in her room with the girls' teeth. A lot of people thought Amma was more closely involved and I was just never there. Pretty solid, creepy end.
book reader and show watcher. don't think he was involved but definitely knew it was going on and did nothing to stop. should have been charged & convicted
I didn't even notice the writing on Amma's new friend's hand/wrist. When the camera zoomed in, all I noticed was she was picking at her food. I have a few questions: - I guess we're to assume Amma did something to her new friend? - The blood in John's house. So whose was it? The credits showed Amma and friends seemingly killing the girls outside.
She killed her. It was shown very briefly in the end credits. The blood in the carriage house was John's sister's. Amma and her friends at the very least attacked her in there. This should help clear some things up since everything was pretty quick. https://www.vox.com/2018/8/26/17780592/sharp-objects-mid-credits-scene-killer
Good, detailed explanation https://www.cnet.com/news/sharp-objects-hbo-finale-milk-post-credits-scenes-explained/ Details of Finale: Spoiler In the end, Sharp Objects didn't surprise. Meaning that if you've read Gillian Flynn's novel, HBO's eighth and final episode, titled Milk, presented the same killer as the one in print. But if you didn't read the book the Southern gothic miniseries is based on, you might need a little more than the 49-minute finale to get everything that happened at the end. Spoilers ahead! We wrapped up last week with Camille realizing it was her mother who killed her sister Marian. "My mother did it," she told her editor, who begged her to come home. "She's doing it again and I need to take care of it," Camille replied as a way of saying she wasn't going to leave Wind Gap with her sister Amma in danger. The outcome of Camille's phone call to her editor represents about the biggest divergence the show takes from the novel as it wraps things up. In the book, Curry doesn't go to Wind Gap. But on the show, it's thanks to him the police are warned about Adora and finally get inside her home to find Camille and Amma half poisoned, both victims of Adora's Munchausen by proxy and Alan's obliviousness. Yes, Alan's only crime is being a fool. Kansas City's the one who finds Camille lying half unconscious and almost naked on her mother's pristine ivory tiles. As in the book, Richard is repulsed by the scars on Camille's body. In the show, Curry gets there right after KC, covering Camille with clothes and hugging her. The police find a pair of bloody pliers in Adora's kitchen that match the marks on Ann's and Natalie's gums. And they discover Adora was spoon-feeding her daughters rat poison, antifreeze and a variety of prescription medications. She pleads not guilty to any of the crimes she's been charged with. More Sharp Objects Sharp Objects finale cuts deep into the eternity of childhood trauma After Sharp Objects, more mystery novels deserve a slice of HBO Amma moves in with Camille, and the sisters find a routine and some normalcy in St. Louis, set to the pace of "Plus tôt" by Alexandra Stréliski. Amma even befriends their neighbor's teenage daughter, Mae. They skate together. Mae sews a bedspread for one of the tiny beds in Amma's dollhouse. Everyone seems content. But that's not where it ends. Amma wants to know if Camille would like her to be a writer like her big sister. Then her new friend manages to steal Curry's attention while the two of them and Camille have dinner at the editor's house. "I like this girl," Curry says referring to Mae, who just explained she reads his editorials and is thinking of going into journalism. "You're just saying that to impress Camille," Amma says. "Kiss ass." Uh-oh. Mae should have known better than to create any competitive tension with Amma. Next thing we see is Mae's mom telling Camille the girls have had an argument and she can't find her daughter. If you didn't read the book, it's easy to miss that Mae disappearing means something very bad. Yes, Amma has killed her. Camille finds something in the trash, the bedspread Mae sewed a few days back. Camille goes to the dollhouse to replace the missing bedspread but sees something she hadn't noticed before: the ivory tiles on Adora's bedroom floor are teeth. Human teeth. "Don't tell mama," Amma tells Camille. Her sister and the viewers know now she is Ann's and Natalie's killer. Post Credits Sequence Explained: Spoiler Blink and you'll miss it But in the post-credits sequence, the miniseries offers a few rapid-fire images of what Flynn explains in the very last pages of her book. And they may be hard to comprehend. We see pink nails against a fence. Amma strangling Ann in the creek where her dead body will be found. Amma's friends from Wind Gap -- Jodes and Kelsey -- helping her. Amma strangling Natalie in the carriage house, under the bed. The skating friends she's inseparable from are also assisting her this time. In the novel, Amma explains to Camille that she was friends with Ann and Natalie for a while. "We had fun, running around in the woods. We were wild. We'd hurt things together. We killed a cat once," she tells her sister, adding that then Adora got all interested in the girls. "I could never have anything to myself. They weren't my secrets anymore. They were always coming to the house. They started asking me questions about being sick. They were going to ruin everything." That's motive in the Crellin household. We also see a glimpse of Amma, by herself this time, getting rid of Mae. You might miss it if you blink. The pink nails against the fence are Mae's. In the book, Amma kills this character, called Lily instead of Mae, by strangling her with bare hands in a dumpster behind an alley. Amma killed her new friend because Camille liked her too much. The last image from the show? Amma dressed all in white before getting Natalie to follow her through the woods. "She was Artemis, the blood huntress," Flynn writes in the book, referring to the Greek goddess of the hunt. In the end, the woman in white was Amma.
Could very well be. I just figured If she’s got that mindset to stage a crime scene to frame someone, she might also be able to cover her own tracks. But there’s always the hubris component with murderers returning to the crime scene and leaving obvious clues etc just for the thrill of it.
The lady in white being Amma right when the credits finished rolling was perfectly creepy. Amazing work all around.
I hate it when books give characters names that aren't names. Emma? No, Amma. Did you say Anna? No, Amma. A-M-M-A.... Soooo, Emma?
