Her husband didnt propse in the 60's the zoo CLOSED un the 60's.
Earlier she asked her if she had kuds and she said "no."
The tombstone clearly showed her husband was also a "loving father" and next to him was their buried daughter geeze try actually paying attention when watching -

I thought it was pretty obvious
Sadie wasn't upset, sending Jane to the grave was her way of saying she is the only thing in her life that means something. She didn't care that Jane didn't tell her about the money.
After Jane saw the graves she realised the severity of their relationship, then they almost definitely went to Paris.
What about the forests? NOPE! -

The old lady did not care about the money Jane stole because she was spending most off it on her anyhow. And she did something for her that she was never able to do herself: she bought tickets to Paris. Her biggest dream.
In the scene where she his standing over her suitcase, unable to decide wheter or not to unpack for the trip she is thinking what i Wrote above: Jane was her friends, she helped her with her driving her around and being there for her.
In the last scene the old lady decides to show Jane she had a child once in the prosess of Opening up, Getting to know each other and also: making sure Jane wouldn't leave her.
Sary for the bad english, it is four o'clock in the morning in Norway and I am super sleepy. -

i 100% agree. i just watched it and was confused at first, but thinking for 15 min or so about the ending.
sadie was going to unpack, but then realizedwho cares about the dishonesty/money, jane has been a great friend (surrogate daughteralthough we dont know that until the last scene) and gave the end of her life meaning again, instead of just being an old bingo playing lady that wont let anyone get close (after losing her 18 yr old daughter & husband), jane got her out of the house and bought her tix on her dream trip to paris.
you really get sadie not wanting to be close/lose anyone again by the scene where she thought she lost the dog and thought she couldn't handle loss again.
sending jane to the grave was sadie's way of letting her in 100% -

but all that still doesn't explain why jane wanted to be her friend so much? and also why she went out of her way to buy her tickets to Paris and would not give up in trying to get her to go with her to Paris. and also why did Jane still want to be friends with the old woman after the old woman said she couldn't be friends anymore with her after she almost lost her dog?

if the old lady really wanted to go to Paris then why did she at first say a resounding no to Jane? I mean Jane had to really talk her into it and even after that she had to try to win at Bingo in order to get the old lady to go with her.

I think that, after Jane's friend outed her to Sadie, Sadie felt betrayedat first. I think she then realized that maybe she was enjoying Jane's company for her own "selfish" reasons (Maybe Jane reminded her of her daughter.) Everyone watched the film feeling bad for Sadie and judging Jane for keeping her money and hanging out with her out of guilt, but I think that this was Sadie's way of saying "I'm no different than you" and, more importantly, "I know about the money and I forgive you." I don't know, that's just how I took it.

Very surprised out of all the people on here, you're the only one that got it. I thought it was fairly heavy-handed people. Sadie's daughter passed when she wasn't all that far from Jane's age. I think, obviously, Jane reminded Sadie of her daughter - and sending Jane to the grave wasn't about telling Jane that she knew about the money, but giving Jane an opportunity to let go of the guilt - because she, Sadie, was also guilty.
Beautiful film. Seriously - marvelous. And a brilliant ending. -

This is my ten cents
Sadie's daughter died in 1969, which meant she died when she was 18, either from an accident or suicide.
Sadie's husband died in 1971, 2 years after their daughter's death, either from a heart attack from the stress of the daughter's death, or suicide. I think his death is directly related to the daughter's death.
Sadie said her husband died last year, so she's been in denial for the past 40 years. She's never come to terms with her daughter's death, so much so she doesn't even admit to her daughter being alive.
I don't think there is more interpretation implied other than Sadie's life has a messy and sad past, and the introduction of Jane has pulled her out of her denial.
The relationship with Jane marks the first time in a long time she has started living life, which includes hopes & dreams (trip to Paris), sadness & stress (ordeal of Starlet getting lost), adventure (the trip to the porn office), and happiness (daughter-relationship with Jane). -

Your interpretation seems to make the most sense. I totally missed that Sadie's husband had died much earlier than she mentioned. So Jane actually brought her out of her fantasy world and back to reality. Still seemed like a strange way to end the film considering everything that went on.
