1) Mia lacks a father figure in her life so when Conor comes along she isn't sure how to react, she struggles to let her guard down and accept him into her life but I think she did see him as a father as he was always there for her when she needed him being very fatherly.
2) The portrayal of the family in this film is a broken family, there is no sign of a Dad and the Mum is always drunk and neglectful to the children. This shows that the value of marriage has gone down, and the middle class is portrayed as being worse then lower class as Conor has a better life then Mia and her family as he is happily married with a child yet he is not content with this life so he goes and cheats with Mia's Mum.
3) After I had seen the film I realised that Mia her Mum and Conor are much more complex characters then what we see to start with, for example Mia is conflicted by her emotions for Conor whether she wants him as a father or a lover and it is not always obvious what her feelings are towards him. Also it is unclear what Conors motives are being involved in Mia's family and what role he wants to take on within the family, father, friend or lover.
