Carrie Coon Reflects on The Leftovers Finale and Nora's Decision
Ойын-сауық
[Editor’s note: Spoilers for The Leftovers finale are included in the video and article below.]
While Damon Lindelof’s Watchmen seems poised to dominate at the Emmy awards in a couple of weeks, the former Lost showrunner was also responsible for creating a very different kind of HBO series that still feels criminally underrated: The Leftovers. Based on the Tom Perrotta book of the same name, the three-season drama took place in the aftermath of a mysterious event in which 2% of the world’s population suddenly vanished. The series never promised to explain where these people went, and instead put its focus on how this vast “sudden departure” impacted those who were left behind - both physically and emotionally.
The Leftovers finale is set many years after the main events of the show, and after we saw Nora (Carrie Coon) decide to go into a theoretical machine that may or may not send people to where their departures have gone. In the show’s final scene, Nora sits down with Kevin (Justin Theroux) and tells him about her experience going to the other side, where the departures were left roaming a world in which 98% of the population had vanished. Except it’s up to the viewer to decide whether Nora is telling the truth, or if she’s telling a gentle lie.
So when Collider’s own Perri Nemiroff sat down with Coon for an extended interview about her career and her upcoming film The Nest as part of Collider’s Ladies Night, she asked Coon if the actress ever asked Damon if he thought Nora was lying or telling the truth. Find out what Coon said in this clip from her episode of Collider Ladies Nights!

Gotta add Amy to this list. She was a force as well.
The final speech of Nora in The Leftovers is one of the best writing and one of the best acting I saw on TV.

The Leftovers' finale was fantastic.
The Emmys didn't deserve The Leftovers.

Totally agree
One of the beat shows of all time . Carrie gave an all time great performance as Nora .
Carrie's acting in that final scene deserves all praise. i can't believe how talented she is. i still think back to that scene often and it still makes me emotional, 4 years later.
She’s such a goooooooood actress.
She was incredible in that show. What a performance!
The shining star of The Leftovers. (Out of so many, that's saying a lot.)
I believe she went. Powerful show
That's a very "Leftovers" answer.
Carrie is always a super interviewee, and the interviewer here also did a great job :)
just finished all 3 seasons in 4 days, i kinda miss nora already :(((( i wish it couldve been longer series, jesus

This was an incredibly powerful show. Watching it all in 4 days must have been an emotional rollercoaster. I would have needed a few days to recover.
The Leftovers, what a Show!!!
What an absolute goddess of a woman. I'm in love with her.

The finale was the epitome of 'tell don't show', the opposite...and is all the better for it.
so delightful
A masterpiece!
Carrie has beautiful smile ❤
best show ever
Such an amazing beautiful woman, I would have gone to Australia every fucking year until I die if I knew if I did find her me and her would be together forever
This woman is extremely beautiful, and tall 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Carrie Coon is beautiful. She looks like British actress Kate Ashfield.
The ending is clearly just a story Nora told herself to move on, it's the story that works for her and that's it, there's no point in asking because it ruins the beauty of the show. Some people need her story to be what really happened and that's okay, that's why is ambiguous but clear at the same time. And about season 1, it's my favourite of the show and I hate how they always bring up that they "fixed it" with season 2. Each season works perfectly within the story and themes explored
In the final speech she is lying

It doesn't matter, he believed what she told him only that matters
Entire third season was a mess. And I'm easy to pleased on endings. But this was all over the place. One minute it's an end of the world story next minute oh wait it was just a love story all along. Pamp.

I just rewatched it the last few weeks. I agree. Kevin couldn’t get any answers in the other place when it mattered so I guess that’s all bullshit. Then Nora’s story. Maybe it’s just that they’re all liars and that is what the story is about.

Did you think we were going to find out the meaning of life when Kevin drank poison? Swing and a miss.

did you every think that "the end of the world" and the love story was just the same story all along? Listen to the song again at the end of ep 7.

It was always a love story, watch the finales of s1 and s2, also its quite clear it was never actually going to be the 'end of the world' considering the opening of s3, like idk how much clearer the show could have been in its intentions there, they told us right from the start
