Movie Haiku:Resourceful kid (Onata Aprile) is accustomed to parental bickering, but she suffers when both parents prove equally incapable of living within the terms of their joint custody agreement. First half (loosely based on Henry James novel) perfectly captures a child''s first person POV but Grade A production values & excellent acting don''t help when plot unravels in second half.
