The Girl in the Park (15)
There's a prissy self-congratulation about early parts of David Auburn's family-bereavement drama, though it got to me eventually. Sigourney Weaver plays a mother who has never recovered from the abduction, now 16 years ago, of her three-year-old daughter. She invites a young drifter (Kate Bosworth) to stay, wondering if she might be her long-lost child, then hoping she is. Unfortunately, the film's practical and psychological implausibilities never disappear.
