In my opinion, this movie was to show how destructive a manipulator aka. Louise's father can be. All of louise's problems, drinking, fantasizing, etc. was brought on by her father's vicious criticisms, lies and control!
It has been a while since I have seen the movie, but if you all remember, Louise's father was not actually paralyzed. Also, as you find out at the end of the movie, the fiancé and the chimp were both killed BY HER FATHER! Louise is the victim in this movie. Everything she loved and loved her was viciously ripped away from her by her sick-minded lying,controlling father. When she found out her father was not paralyzed and the past 19 years of her life was under his complete control, she lost it and pushed him down a hill......wouldn't you?? I really feel like this movie was trying to show society that mental abuse is REAL and should be taken SERIOUSLY!
