That was far darker than I expected. I have trouble with the mockery Miranda makes out of people with mental disabilities, but I appreciate how terrifyingly truthful the whole plot with her father was. It is true that Miranda is difficult to like, but he left when she was a little kid. The act itself is cruel, admitting he did so because of her is cruel, and do we not see this too often when a child with disability is born? How many parents simply cannot take responsibility for their child and leave, sometimes completely abandoning them? It really got me.
Whenever reality crosses Miranda's perception, it is nothing but absolutely harsh and cruel to her. Maybe it is not such a wonder that she would rather live so far away from it.
