I found the movie had a lot of things in that triggered very unhappy memories for me, but the worst was that ending, where she was abandoned by someone who had broken down her barriers to get close to her and then just casually walked away like she was nothing.

Is that how the American one ended?? After watching the Swedish version, I was left with the impression that it was the guy who was much more interested in the girl, who decided to run off and do her own thing. Hm...maybe I should just read the books or something

That is how it ended. She buys him this very expensive leather jacket, because of pictures of him and his brother and how much he loved it (I think it was a brother, someone in the pics he loved). She goes to give it to him and sees him heading out for a night on the town with his married girlfriend. So she throws it in a dumpster and that's kind of the image you get of the ending, outside of her riding away.
And they definitely depicted it as him pretty much having to break through her barriers to get her into bed, and they're very tender together during those scenes... only for him to turn around and do that in the end. I wanted to vomit, I was so disgusted.
I actually liked some aspects of the movie. But the ending just incensed me.
