Originally I did not like the core concept. The Universe is essentially saying: "We don't like the person you are. Be better".
I think we can all be terrible people. Sometimes, we can be terrible for a day. Often, it is much longer than that. This film takes an honest look at a character's shortcomings.
Shortcomings we all have and that when faced with them... we reject the truth of it. We simply do not see that the behavior we engaged in was terrible at the time. Even worse... we may even justify that behavior.
The film was not afraid to expose its main character to the many negative flaws a person must sometimes work their way through. It continued to display these flaws through most of the film making the character very difficult to like.
This was done to drive home a singular point. That she (and by extension the viewing audience) deserves an opportunity to really see the ill we have caused others in life. In so doing, we see our true selves; all of the pieces - the good and the bad.
Perhaps then, we can repent. Given enough time (loops)... we might even be able to forgive ourselves.
