I wanted to like this film more than I did, but I am giving this 3 stars due to the strength of Aud Mason-Hyde's performance, the teenage actor playing the child and grandchild, respectively, of Olivia Coleman's and John Lithgow's characters.

Aside from the ridiculous ending that the studio imposed, I had trouble warming up to Lina. She was such a a ninny, who should have run back to her parents at the first sign of Johnnie's dishonesty.
