Lovingly captured but rather dramatically inert, The Playroom is a slice of 1970s-era familial portraiture, with a special focus on wandering eyes and the secret lives of adults. If The Ice Storm was a band, think of this as the minor-chord, label-unsigned, opening act for the opening act — a boxed-in, presumably autobiographical tale in which a quartet of kids manage their mother’s alcoholism and nice-guy father’s enabling… with imagination!
