"Anna, it's okay to cry. Just know that I love you."
Being a psychological drama film, When Marnie Was There definitely has its fair share of tear jerker moments.

Film

  • Anna suffering an asthma attack at the beginning of the film.
  • Marnie's backstory of how she was abused when she was a child.
  • Anna's desperate search to find Marnie following her disappearance.
  • Anna's self-loathing can be pretty hard for anyone who has felt the same way.
  • The climactic final scene between Anna and Marnie, during which Marnie begs Anna to forgive her for leaving her alone, especially when The Reveal that comes afterwards gives it new context.
  • Anna being cast into foster care instead of being taken in by any relatives who were at Marnie's funeral.
  • The song "Fine On The Outside" that plays during the closing credits.
