- Elmer Bernstein’s score and opening titles are called generic early-1990s work despite his stature.
- The father prioritizing an unexplained Tokyo deal immediately after his wife’s death is heavily criticized.
- Mark’s restrained response to the maggot-food taunt is criticized.
- David Morse’s character is called an extraordinarily uninvolved parent.
- The ending gives Mark a coda when Susan’s loss and legal exposure need attention.
