Enigmatic Dad, Precocious Daughter: 'Jack and Rose'

By Kenneth Turan
Published March 25, 2005 at 12:00 AM EST

Los Angeles Times film critic Kenneth Turan says director Rebecca Miller's life with her famous father, the late playwright Arthur Miller, has given her a deft hand for the story she tells in her latest film. The Ballad of Jack and Rose centers on an enigmatic father, a precocious daughter and an island retreat.
