I continued watching this movie as I hoped for a positive, clever conclusion. However, we find the Robot committing suicide at the hands of Frank, supposedly to help Frank. However, Frank ends up in assisted living anyway (a luxury jail cell, if you will). We see one happy picnic scene with the family and Frank is left all alone, seeing other residents with their robot helpers. He appears to yearn to have his robot friend/partner back. The one surprise was to find out that the librarian is actually his ex-wife, though this is not told in words but in images/photos and actions. It was truly a sad ending for me, seeing no happiness for Frank at all!
