Messy as it was, Euphoria's season finale did at least one thing quite successfully: It slyly and deliberately blurred the lines between reality and fiction in a way that underscores the whole point of the show. chaneyj writes
“All My Life, My Heart Has Yearned for a Thing I Cannot Name” is more interested in the emotional reality of being a teenager than actual reality. Photo: HBO The season-two finale of Euphoria has been heavily criticized on social media for all the things it did not do: Give more screen time to Hunter Schafer’s Jules, address where the hell Rue’s missing suitcase is or whether Laurie the drug dealer still wants her money, let Kat do basically anything.
Euphoria viewers, like the audience of Lexi’s play, may justifiably wonder whether what we are seeing is intended to reflect the truth or an exaggerated version of it. Photo: HBO Take the long, heartfelt conversation between Rue and Lexi about how they’ve dealt with the absences of their fathers. It’s a lovely scene, beautifully acted by Zendaya and Maude Apatow, that at first seems to be taking place after the play, therefore hinting that their friendship will be rekindled.
Several moments in the finale deliberately and pointedly feel, as Rue says, like a movie. The storming of Fez’s house by the police and the massive shoot-out that results in what appears to be Ashtray’s death is traumatic and surreal. It’s also the natural cinematic bookend to the sequence that opens this season of Euphoria, depicting Fez’s youth and his connection to Ashtray as a Martin Scorsese film.
