"[It] picks you up, and just flings you around and slaps you against the wall and slaps you in the face and wallops you across the room. It really takes you on a ride." He continued: "The ending is really satisfying. It's dramatic but in a really interesting and clever way. I think people will go away feeling sad that it's over, but I think they'll be satisfied."
Asked whether he'd seen the final cut, Fergus replied: "I remember looking at the time code. I was 16 minutes in, and I couldn't believe how much stuff has happened."
