If &#8220;The Ice Storm&#8221; was a band, think of this as its minor-chord, B-feature\u00a0opening act,\u00a0a boxed-in, presumably autobiographical\u00a0tale in which a quartet of kids manage their mother&#8217;s alcoholism and nice-guy father&#8217;s enabling&#8230;\u00a0WITH IMAGINATION!<\/p>\n<p>Set in 1975, &#8220;The Playroom&#8221;\u00a0centers on the home life of lawyer Martin Cantwell (John Hawkes) and his scotch-dependent, emotionally distant wife, Donna (Molly Parker). The couple has two boys and two girls, with older daughter Maggie (Olivia Harris) serving as the brood&#8217;s de facto mother. When they get home from school one afternoon she invites classmate Ryan (Cody Linley) back to have some\u00a0afternoon delight in the garage, but otherwise spends her time cleaning up the house and, with some help from middle brother Christian (Jonathon McClendon, resembling a younger Chris Colfer), looking after their younger siblings, Janie (Alexandra Doke) and Sammy (Ian Veteto). Donna eventually wanders home, not long before Martin arrives from work, and after a family dinner some neighbors, Clark (Jonathan Brooks) and Nadia (Lydia McKay), come over for an adult evening of cards\u00a0and conversation. Inappropriate flirting and more ensues,\u00a0as the kids seek refuge in their titular hideaway, and tell each other fantastical stories.<\/p>\n<p>Suburban malaise and\u00a0infidelity is nothing particularly new, but there&#8217;s inordinately little conflict here across the board, especially given the range of ages of the kids. Directed by Julia Dyer, from a screenplay by her sister Gretchen Dyer (brother Stephen Dyer serves as a producer), &#8220;The Playroom&#8221; is tenderly observed, but curious\u00a0as to what it regards as\u00a0insightful or engaging. The script tosses out a few oblique lines (&#8220;Love is falling down a hole inside yourself,&#8221; opines Maggie), but otherwise lays out most of its feelings on the surface: Maggie is the caretaker, and thus resented by her mother, while Janie, her mother&#8217;s favorite, is so addicted to the (occasional) attention she receives that she&#8217;s fiercely protective of any assault on her mom&#8217;s shortcomings.<\/p>\n<p>Rather pointlessly, the movie compresses all of its action into one day. It&#8217;s perhaps a production concession to limited resources, but the movie &#8212; which unfolds in cramped fashion at one suburban domicile, despite some imaginative split-level framings by cinematographer Russell Blair in an attempt to open things up &#8212; could easily have spread out its action over the course of several weeks or months, which would help things feel more organic and less contrived. As is, while the acting is fine &#8212; Parker and Hawkes, both pro&#8217;s pros, are superbly dialed in, capturing the\u00a0little rhythms of an unhealthy\u00a0codependent relationship &#8212; the story itself is a big shrug. It may be fine cinematic therapy, but this &#8220;Playroom&#8221; isn&#8217;t really made for guests.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> For more information on the film&#8217;s theatrical engagements in Los Angeles at the Laemmle Music Hall,\u00a0in New York at the Cinema Village and Dallas at the Texas Theater, visit its website at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ThePlayroomMovie.com\">www.ThePlayroomMovie.com<\/a>, or its same-named Facebook page.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Technical: B<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Acting: B<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Story: D+<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Overall: C<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Written by: Brent Simon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/the-playroom-movie-review.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/the-playroom-movie-review.jpeg\" alt=\"The Playroom Movie Review\" title=\"The Playroom Movie Review\" width=\"600\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-115726\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/the-playroom-movie-review.jpeg 680w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/the-playroom-movie-review-300x210.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title:\u00a0The Playroom Director: Julia Dyer Starring: John Hawkes, Molly Parker, Olivia Harris, Jonathan Brooks, Lydia McKay,\u00a0Alexandra Doke, Ian Veteto, Jonathon McClendon, Cody Linley Lovingly captured but rather dramatically inert, &#8220;The Playroom&#8221; is a slice of\u00a01970s-era familial portraiture, with a special focus on wandering eyes and the secret lives of adults.
