Yes need to check out the interview. I get the switchup, and I *like* the switchup, both on paper and to a lesser extent on the screen, especially if the alternative is romantic love of the perfect guy. (I really like that we get to iterations of imperfection -- one the seemingly perfect guy who has sinister ulterior motives and the other the bumbling friend she grows to love even though it's not "save the kingdom" love).
But I guess what it doesn't answer for me is how Anna's action actually solves Elsa's alienation problem. We know that the sisters love each other and would do anything for the other (that isn't in doubt for a second) and Anna's display is touching in its own way, but Elsa has a lot of power and it seems a bit like the "solution" is very much outside of Elsa, who by the end just kind of has cool ice powers (no pun intended) that she can turn on and off like a faucet rather than being blessed/cursed with an all-powerful firehose. I'd be interested in a sequel where she has to come to grips with the fact that she can *still* kill a man with an icicle dagger if she wants to.
