OR DID SHE?

The ending was pretty ambiguous though, after seeing it me and the group of people I saw it with just argued the whole walk home whether it was all in her head and she just completed the fantasy before she died or if it was real at all. I'd have to see it again to argue for either interpretation but the ending wasn't really a happy ending anyway, even I thought at first it was really happening she had to be murdered and die miserably and slowly to go join the land of the fairies where monarchy does work thanks to pixie dust. A bittersweet ending, at best. Besides, the kid had no ideology she was fighting for except to being a monarch clearly for the whole movie, it just so happened that her only real human friend was with the Republicans.
