I think perhaps Katie Clark found a good balance between seemingly too obviously impaired and hardly seeming impaired at all.

Re whether Margaret had overreacted: Of course, it's not just Margaret. It's also Roy. I think we are meant to believe that Clara's impairment is significant and real.

Have you seen the film version of the novel? It seems to me that Yvette Mimieux as Clara is rather obviously impaired, and it is odd that the Nacarelli family never seem to notice anything off about her.

The problem with Keenan-Bolger's performance at the Goodman was that she seemed very obviously mentally challenged, no doubt about it. This made Matthew Morison seem like a horny young guy wanting to prey on a nice looking, but challenged young woman who is (as a result) an easy fuck. He's not a bad person, just immature with a lot of testosterone and not behaving responsibly about his future. Keenan-Bolger comes across as a girl where O'Hara is definitely a woman. Just IMO.

It's been a long time since I've seen the film, but I've always thought that the chances for a long happy marriage between Mimieux and George Hamilton were not good. I think de Havilland deep down inside knows this but wants her daughter to experience the relationship and perhaps motherhood even if it is shortlived. However, I probably need to watch the film again.
