After almost two hours, I found the ending in complete consonance with the rest of the movie, which during many scenes made me feel angry, because it is neither realistic nor plausible, but belongs more to the realm of melodrama. I believe nowadays things are handled a bit different than the way the situation is depicted here: in "Jagten", persons rarely confront each other, as normal people do. They do not question the supposed offender, nobody seeks a lawyer. They just assume things, until everything gets so out of hand, that it becomes brutal and nasty. The writers expect us to take seriously a situation created by a woman who (like a fool) runs away from the "offender" when he goes to the school to talk to her. This does not mean that I find "Jagten" a bad film. I just believe it is an average melodrama, a genre movie from start to end. And in that sense the ending makes complete sense.
