‘The Curse’ Finale Recap: Nathan Fielder Soars in an Absurd, Nightmarish Ending


Breaking down the absurd, nightmarish finale of Nathan Fielder, Benny Safdie and Emma Stone's 'The Curse.'

The pair debrief the disappointing segment during Shabbat dinner that night, while Whitney grumbles about her friend Cara landing a feature in the New York Times for her decision to quit art, meanwhile “Green Queen” is struggling to gain a viewership and has been relegated to an offshoot streamer on HGTV GO. Dougie (Benny Safdie), who has just arrived, flies a drone above the tree to capture footage for the show; Whitney, in the hospital, smiles in elation as she’s handed her newborn baby, completely unaware of the torture her husband is currently enduring. Dougie, realizing what’s happened to his “best friend,” begins to sob: “Oh, God, I’m so sorry… Everything I’ve ever done, I was thinking of myself.” Whitney, although not yet aware of her husband’s horrific death, holds her baby in peace, no longer in need of Asher’s unconditional love to feel a sense of meaning.
