You're right; the fact that I didn't necessarily empathize with her character was left purposefully vague.
I don't believe it's bad writing OR acting and I agree with NE that the creators of the film achieved their vision of those characters. I do feel that I would have liked the movie even more had I enjoyed the characters in any way. Hell, I gave the film 4 out of 5 stars on Netflix and I meant it, I just believe I would have given it a 5/5 if I felt any emotion toward the characters or story. I think the story was great but it was far from mind bending, it takes more time to digest than it does to dissect.

Out of curiosity, everybody's giving their opinion about what the director and writer wanted to do (or intentionally did) and I was wondering if there was an interview out there or if it's all assumption.
