Sharp Objects, the riveting HBO miniseries starring Amy Adams as an alcoholic cutter returning to her Missouri hometown to report on a pair of child murders, was one of the TV highlights of the summer. Much of its creative success can be attributed to the work of Adams and the rest of the cast, especially Eliza Scanlen and Patricia Clarkson, and to director Jean-Marc Vallée’s hypnotic approach to merging the show’s past and present.But a lot of credit also goes to the scripts by Marti Noxon, Gillian Flynn and others adapting Flynn’s 2006 debut novel, which offer twists, turns and brutal comments on the tragic relationship between Adams’ Camille and Clarkson’s overbearing mother Adora.Spoilers for the finale, and the season as a whole, are coming up soon, I’m bleeding as fast as I can…
The finale stuck close to the plot of Flynn’s book while being presented in a different way, particularly at the very end. Camille and her cop lover Richard Willis (Chris Messina) independently figure out that Adora killed Camille’s sister Marian years ago through Munchausen syndrome by proxy — a compulsion to make her own child sick in order to feel needed. She nearly does the same to Camille before Willis and Camille’s editor Frank Curry (Miguel Sandoval) burst into the Crellin house to rescue Camille and Amma and arrest Adora for the deaths of Marian and the two recently murdered girls, Natalie and Ann.
