Time Cut : director Hannah MacPherson lifts the veil on the alternative ending that could have pleased Netflix subscribers
If the feature film quickly enjoyed success on Netflix, it unfortunately did not appeal to subscribers who were not hands-on, due to its totally incoherent ending. A few days after it was posted online, director Hannah MacPherson gave an interview with the Tudum site during which she reveals that multiple endings were written for the feature film. “That wasn’t the only possibility for the ending of the film. We had several options, including one where the sisters were alive in the present. Summer would have been 20 years older than Lucy, but they would have been alive. We just thought the image of a 45-year-old Summer and a teenage Lucy wasn’t as happy as the two teenagers living together.”said the one who does not regret the end of her film at all. “It was so good, to hell with logic of time travel”she added.
