I'm glad I didn't bother then. Thing is, I could see that we were gonna discover why she was like that and then - my guess is - she would thaw bit by bit, hopefully endearing herself to the audience as she found a way to face and defeat her demons - but I already found her too annoying to spend another second with and to care whether or not that happened.
There had just been a bit with what I took to be a big hint, she finally did go on a date with a former fellow student who came in her coffee shop and he mentioned a few names along with what they were up to now - and when he said one name the lighting and music suddenly went all dramatic and sinister; I don't think that there was an actual flashback but there was a sort of loaded and intense moment which I took to be subtly saying....
"That name right there was a guy who assaulted her causing her to drop out of college and abandon her dreams, retreating from the real world by training herself to become a seemingly unfeeling and spiteful automaton, and over the course of the rest of the film, as we grow to like her this will slowly be revealed to us and soon enough she will be hunting him down to get her revenge by which point we will well and truly be rooting for her. He will turn out to be a thoroughly nasty piece of work and probably do a few more really really horrible things to make us properly hate him enough that we will be cheering when she does battle through and kill him by putting his balls in some kind of mincing machine and at the end we will all be happy. However we are right now gonna leave it open as regards her new friend, he might be part of her healing process OR there might be a terrifying stomach-turning twist which means that he was in on the rape too but she didn't know about it and as a result she has to cut off his dick as part of the revenge".
Am I on the right lines there
