I don't remember a gargoyle at the window (or any audience unhappiness, if I could even tell that). It was the ending, with the somewhat surreal treatment of the Asian woman walking past the downstairs door, that seemed to me to be the intended conclusion of other effects seen/heard earlier. I didn't/don't understand the meaning of that. If it all just happened, without it being made to seem to mean something more, I wouldn't wonder about it (and that's the only way I ultimately can take it). And, yes, on the acting. Superb and so believable. I see it as a look at a family that holds together through more than their share of adversities - some of their own doing and some not. Real people on stage.

I wish I had taken down what Reed Birney said yesterday about the final sequence. I don't want to incorrectly convey what he said. He definitely has his own interpretation of it, which he said had developed over time and continues to develop. I am sure he said that for him it had something to do with Erik's willingness to move into the tunnel. I'm not sure that I entirely buy the ending, but I liked it so much overall that I'm mostly willing to go with it.
