Caution: The following also contains discussions of self-harm and suicide.

After plenty of manipulation and seduction, Hedda comes to a very heated conclusion, though Tessa Thompson's fate is a little more open to interpretation. The film, written and directed by Nia DaCosta, revolves around the titular character as she and her new husband, George, host a party at their opulent mansion, which is thrown into disarray when a woman with major ties to both Hedda and George's past arrives.

Much like Henrik Ibsen's namesake play, Hedda 's ending sees Thompson's titular character facing the consequences of her various mind games when Nina Hoss' Eileen Lövborg incidentally uses the gun given to her to commit suicide in a confrontation, being mortally wounded with a shot to the stomach.
