Excessive lovemaking. The point being...?

Seldom, in my experience, do srx scenes really add to our understanding of a story. In this case, there is just too much sex. She seems fully engaged, fully satisfied, but then, at the end, she rejects him. Huh?

And, we do not learn what happens to the girl. I could not believe that the film was over. Questions remained. Such as, does the girl go to prison.? Is she really a minor? How did she get those bruises? There had been no indication that she was being brutalized. Yes, she hates the sex, and she has to look after her mother in law, but to murder both of them, well, it seems really surprising, because her situation does not seem harrowing.

An odd film. Puzzling. Did I miss something?
