- Bathroom-break choices focus on the extended ending, with alternative stopping points at the arrest or Frank walking away in pilot uniform before an epilogue.
- Excess time with Brenda's family leads into disagreement about Adams's value and awards reputation; the debate is explicitly contentious.
- Adams's Brenda is attacked as exaggerated and incoherent, while defenders describe a sheltered candy striper and explain Frank's attraction as an attempt to regain a happy family and identify with another bullied person.
- Hathaway is favorably compared with Adams; The Fighter, American Hustle, Arrival, The Master and Junebug support a defense of Adams, while the criticism focuses on her perceived highest level and six Oscar nominations.
