Yes...you're reading me wrong. I don't want the film to explain it all to me, nor do I want the film to decide if she is troubled vs evil. I liked the ambiguity of it all. As I said in my review I liked the mystique.
In my last few post...I'm trying to explain the thought processes in my own head, as I watched the film...And for some reason I never though of her as evil or as a socipath (doesn't mean I'm right or wrong, it's just how I personally felt during the movie and how I interpreted what I was seeing).
So it was very interesting to read that Cricket did consider socipath her motivation and to read that you consider her possibly a murder...See that's interesting to me...the what, why and how we viewed the character's actions.

I don't think she is a murderer. My preferred narative is that she felt deeply hurt by him killing himself and leaving her so she destroyed his life work by taking the recognition for herself as revenge. He left that manuscript with his name on it, he wanted it published and to hopefully be remembered for it. It's completely ambiguous though, as i said that's my preferred narrative. I 100% believe he killed himself, i think that's the one thing in the film that's not ambiguous. At the time when i wrote that review i had just watched it and hadn't took the time to think about it so i was just thinking out loud. As i said it's not a good review, it's a mess and not representative of my actual feelings as my thoughts were scattered at the time and i'll do something proper if i see it again.
My narrative is basically both as it's her being deeply hurt by it then doing something twisted and nasty rather than taking sadness like anyone else would.
