I thought Meryl was nothing like Cruella de Vil (aside from the hair). She barely spoke above a whisper the entire movie (whereas Cruella carried on like a meth addict), which made her all the more terrifying, but also gave Miranda a depth and vulnerability that actually didn't make you hate her and even understood her motivations. You could understand getting sucked into that bizarre world through her performance. I just wish the story itself were better told.
