Since I am thus far the minority member of Camp Lambert, how about this as another possibility:
The movie begins with misquoted Poe: "What we see, and what we seem, are but a dream, a dream within a dream." Next we see Miranda awakening.
What if the dreamlike cinematography and odd story are just Miranda's dream? She casts herself as a lovely, idolized, benevolent spirit who is spared from a repressive and academic-lite boarding school and fancies herself a romantic stranger (Michael) who tries to rescue her?

The adoration as Miranda's fantasy for herself? Now that I would buy.
Well, I don't know if that explanation hangs together ultimately, but there's certainly something there. I think the "dream" quote was intended to be very significant and not just a reference to the ethereal reality the girls seemd to cherish and inhabit.
