Doesn't sound like a problem with Alfredson to me :D .

I don't really see how any of this is a problem.

It's only a problem to those who do not wish to participate with a film...for me, that's what I have absolutely loved about the two films I've seen from Alfredson...he's one of the few directors who knows how much to give and how much to leave for the audience to chew on.

That's Alfredson's style in-itself...and that is what I absolutely love about him.

It's only a problem who do want to be spoon fed every last detail.

I agree with everyone so far. This isn't a problem, it is a virtue.
