- Quotes
[last lines]
Ginger: [sitting writing in notebook] We had a dream... that we would always be best friends. When we were born... for some it was the end. Now it seems there may not be tomorrow. But despite the horror... and the sorrow... I love our world. I want us all to live. Now, Rosa, you've asked me to forgive. One day, if Mum survives this bitter night... then we shall meet again, and I will say... I loved you, Rosa. Don't you see? But we are different. You dream of everlasting love. Not me. Because what really matters, is to live. And if we do... there will be nothing to forgive.
Roland: [sitting nearby] What are you writing?
Ginger: Oh, a poem... about the future.
Roland: I'm sorry, Ginger. I'm so sorry.
Ginger: [continues to writing] But I'll forgive you anyway.

Ginger, the protagonist, is an aspiring poet, and the film itself is structured a bit like a poem. It addresses the complexities of growing up, inseparable friendship, the pain that comes when something disrupts it, and many other things. As one who's battled with depression on and off for most of his life, I found GINGER & ROSA very illuminating about the nature of despair, melancholy, and all of that.
While intrigued, I still wondered for most of the first 80 or so minutes, "Where is all this supposed to be going?" Nothing terribly dramatic ever happens, but, like a good poem, the fine ending and resolution made me glad I'd stayed with it.
