Review of Zoe

Zoe (I) (2018)
6/10
Ending is misunderstood, the twist is clever.

Warning: Spoilers
The ending is NOT what it seems on the surface.

Apparent ending: the original Zoe was rescued, and it was a happy ending. But, I don't think that happened. The rescue did not happen, those memories were false.

When our hero goes into the hotel room, and meets a new Zoe, the new Zoe was weird, and he forms no attachment. But, her acting weird was just to fool him.

Our hero is then is seemingly reunited with the "original" Zoe. But, the original Zoe was destroyed. He was actually meeting a *another* new Zoe, but this one was acting the same as the original Zoe did. He fell for the trick, because the first new Zoe was acting so fake. So, he though the 2nd New Zoe was the original Zoe.

The clue was the tears. The movie made a big deal about tears. Our hero even said that it was *physically impossible* for the original Zoe to cry. Only a new Zoe could cry. So, when Zoe cried, at the end, that proves she was actually the new Zoe. Not the original.

Why the two-new-Zoes' trick? Well, the Zoe's are designed to make men happy. And, with this trick to fool him, he could now be happy.

The plot hole here is, he would surely figure this out. But, maybe he already did, but, this time, he decided to go with it. He had a second chance to do that.
