What Happened After Lila Says (2005)

1. Question About the Ending - Lila dit ça (2005) Discussion | MovieChat

In the book, Lila turned out to be all talk and a virgin. She also committed suicide in the book. It was so depressing, I threw it away...the boys made up lies ...
I liked the movie but feel that I missed something.

Thanks to other comments on IMDB about there being a "revelation" near the ending (when I hadn't noticed any such revelations), I went back and rewatched several points in the movie and made the connection that the silver car he'd seen Lila step into (with concern on his part at first) turned out to be the babysitting client. I hadn't recognized the car and personally feel that this was easily missable, but whatever, cool. OK, so we know Lila was innocent in that case.

But what about the "limo" that Chimo's friends claim they saw Lila getting into - the one with the curtains? Was that something they'd made up? Was that also explained (and I missed it again)? Or are we just never to know?

Is the "revelation" that Lila is more innocent than we thought - that all of her dirty talk was just that? To me, if that's supposed to be the revelation, that wasn't very clearly communicated in the film. What I experienced was a more ambiguous ending. Does anyone agree/disagree, and can anyone tell me if it sounds like I missed anything else? :)

There’s very little about “Lila Says” that isn’t utterly shameless. Maybe the worst thing about it is the way it hints at social-issue depths beneath its titillating surface.
