Alice Wu intentionally keeps Ellie's (Leah Lewis) face hidden through the opening montage as we instead get glimpses of her and her life. It makes a brief mystery out of her identity which is in essence the journey that Ellie herself is on. The film's end pays this off with an extended shot focused on Ellie's face as we realize that we've come to know her, and more importantly, she now knows herself.
