Carefully framed compositions that are near cliche a father cuddling his young child, a babysitter helping a youngster with teeth brushing take on fresh significance. ... Just as remarkably, Aschan draws convincing, naturalistic performances from her young nonpro actors while putting them in highly charged situations. ........
